SCENE 08·DIRECT PAYMENT·DIRECT PAYMENT · FAMILIES · WITNESSEDScene one · The ritual
Trust, served the old way.
For two centuries the most consequential introductions in care and medicine have been made by hand, in person, with patience, with precision. The hands changed. The standard didn’t.
Your council pays £264 for a twelve hour shift of home care. The agency keeps £102. Your loved one’s carer takes £162. You signed a Direct Payment to commission care, not to fund a recruiter.
The hard math
Same loved one. Same carer hours. Same statutory standard. Two completely different ledgers, depending on whether you book through an agency or through the desk.
Three commitments
01
DBS, RTW, references, training. Sealed once in the carer’s Pro-ID, ready for your council reviewer the first time they ask.
02
Your Direct Payment audit becomes a calm 20 minutes, not a kitchen-floor panic. Each booking exports as a council-grade receipt with shift, rate, and witnessed credentials.
03
Continuity matters. Netvett lets you re-book the same trusted carer week after week without the agency tax pretending to introduce them again.

Every week routed through an agency between now and the next cohort is £408 of your loved one’s budget leaking to a recruiter you never invited. Request your family desk. Be in the cohort that ends the agency tax for direct-payment care.
