I have found (as others have) that each LEA works differently and some are
more flexible than others. Our local LEA can only make payments direct to
the student, whereas a few insist on paying the supplier direct. Our
Finance Dept is not prepared to take on the extra work involved in DSA
purchasing and payroll payments, so this is not an aption for us.
I am happy to monitor payments from students to helpers and encourage
LEA's to accept monthly invoices direct from helpers in certain
circumstances. I instruct students to keep all receipts and provide
evidence of expenditure to the LEA, and it seems that most LEAs do now ask
for this.
