Managing Money

Managing money can be stressful. Getting everything in place now can help reduce the risk of problems later. If you are a Carer or someone you know is already managing someone else’s finances it’s important to manage finances safely to protect them and the money.

We have created a Top Ten Tips document which gives advice on the following information:

• Getting a power of attorney set up
• Keeping their money and yours seperate
• Use systems designed to help you
• Make a budget and keep a record
• Imagine you are being watched
• Involve the person you support
• Have a plan and manage vulnerability
• Claim all the entitlements
• Do you best 
• Be safe

There are also link to Derbyshire safeguarding adults board, Derbyshire Carers Association and Alzeimers society.
