Warwickshire currently has a Network User Group which meets every quarter at varied venues across the county. This group is supported by Warwickshire County Council with support from the Rowan Organisation. It is a great opportunity to gather updated information regarding Direct Payments and Personal Budgets, as well as a good opportunity to get together with other Direct Payment recipients and people who are managing a direct Payment on someone's behalf.

The group is in the process of setting up a core group of Direct Payment recipients and people managing Direct Payments on someone else's behalf. The core group will direct the future of the group and act as spokespersons for the rest of the group. This will enable the network user group to become a stand alone group who invite Warwickshire County Council and us to attend as and when they wish.

For more information please contact Rebekah Dryhurst (WCC) on 01926 746995 or send an email to rebekahdryhurst@warwickshire.gov.uk

Please check back regularly for updates on the next Network Group meeting.
