Making an arrangement

In this section

GSL arrangements

8.1    When all parties agree to proceed with a proposed arrangement, details will be confirmed in an arrangement agreement signed by:

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

8.2    Where appropriate, the person (or their legally appointed representative) will also enter into a Licence agreement with the carer. This sets out the conditions under which the person lives in the carer’s home.

8.3    GSL will complete a risk assessment and develop a ‘My Shared Lives Plan’ for the person within:

  • 5 working days of the start of a short term arrangement, or
  • 10 working days of the start of a long term arrangement

8.4    GSL will provide the person and the carer(s) with any written information needed to support the arrangement.
