Direct payments: children with disabilities

Can I be refused a direct payment for my child?

We can refuse a direct payment if:

the service the parent wishes to purchase would not meet the child's needs
a parent refuses to obtain a Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) Check on a potential personal assistant or sessional support worker
a parent wishes to employ someone who does not have a satisfactory outcome to their CRB Check
it does not appear that the parent is capable of managing the payments
