Direct payments are made by the UK welfare system into certain disabled people's bank accounts, so that they can pay for their own social care. This work summarises and builds on current knowledge and research about direct payments in the UK and considers developments in other European countries. It identifies good practice in the area and explores the implications of direct payments, both for service users and for social work staff.
