In this presentation, John Armstrong poses the question, "Are there any drawbacks that come with people when they're paid to provide a service?"
There were times in history when there was no paid services. People were supported by their families and by their communities.
Now that paid services are the norm and funding is the focus of many families and organisations, it’s helpful to explore whether there are any limitations.
In this presentation, Senior SRV trainer John Armstrong takes us through an exploration of paid services.
