About this listen
In this episode, Michelle sits down with Liz Walls to unpack what it really means to be a Personal Assistant (PA), exploring the diverse roles, responsibilities, and lived experiences behind the title.
They discuss what makes the PA role so vital, how parents and carers can access funded training through Skills for Care, and why understanding the employer–employee relationship is key when supporting neurodivergent children, young people, and adults.
The conversation highlights the importance of user-led training, available funding, and how to navigate the often-confusing world of recruitment, legislation, and support.
