What to check before care starts in Nottingham
- A police check — DBS in England and Wales, Access NI in Northern Ireland, or Garda Vetting in Ireland
- Right to work documentation
- Public liability or care insurance
- Two contactable references from previous care work
Carers self-declare these on their Care Connectors profile. Treat a declaration as a starting point and ask to see the paperwork yourself.
Agency or direct hire?
Home care agencies operating in Nottingham are regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC). An agency handles vetting, cover and payroll, which is reflected in the hourly rate. Arranging care directly usually costs less and gives you continuity with one person, but the checks, written terms and cover arrangements are yours to organise. Our guide to private carer costs sets out typical ranges.
Funding and assessments
Before you commit, ask your local council's adult social care team for a care needs assessment, and a carer's assessment if you're looking after someone. It's worth doing even if you expect to pay privately — it clarifies what's needed and what support may be available.
