you would have to go direct to your local scheme to ask this question. as far as FAO staff are concerned, they get 50 hours, they can use at one, two or 5 carers. with the loading etc, that would be something you'd need to check direct with the scheme as to how it impacts things.


i personally am of the understanding that the limit is listed as HOURS (easily understood) but that there is actually a DOLLARS per week limit (which is why you only get about two thirds of the hours with FDC, given the extra loading per hour) - in which case it would depend on which provider put in the care hours first as to which gets the funding - either way, they wouldn't be able to exceed their dollar value for the week for CCB - the hours that went above that dollar limit would attract only CCR to the maximum of the 50 hours.
