Agreements

Carer agreement

20.1    Approved GSL carers will be required to enter into a Carer agreement with GSL. This does not guarantee that GSL will make any arrangement with the carer as all arrangements are dependent on successful matching - see also section 7. 

20.2    GSL carers:

• are self employed. They are not employees of the County council but will be covered by the County council’s public liability insurance
  
  
• will be restricted to a maximum of the equivalent of 3 full time arrangements at any one time
  
  
• may not accept arrangements from any source other than GSL without the prior agreement of GSL

Arrangement agreement

20.3    Terms and conditions specific to an individual arrangement will be set out in an arrangement agreement between:

• the carer
  
  
• the person using the service (or their legally appointed representative)
  
  
• GSL
  
  
• the funding authority (where relevant)

Licence Agreement

20.4    Where appropriate, carers will enter into a Licence agreement with the person living in their home. This sets out the conditions under which the person lives in the carer’s home.
