I'm seeing so many people popping up on social media as private carers wanting cash in hand work. When looking for a private carer for yourself or your loved one please ask to see proof that the individual has a DBS check, full public liability insurance, have a UTR code to ensure they are registered as self employed & the relevant training certificates.
The cumberland collective website has a list of private carers & other self employed professional who all have the correct cover and have completed the programme to ensure they are working to the correct standards.
I've attached a link below for the cumberland collective.
Another is the small good stuff listings.
