Terms for Families

Terms covering family use of the HBS platform.

These terms apply to families using HBS to find verified independent carers. They cover account use, introductions, payments, support hours records and dispute handling.

Independent carers

Carers introduced via HBS operate independently. The family chooses and engages the carer directly.

Platform fees

Carers set their own hourly rate. HBS adds a transparent platform fee on top, shown before any payment is taken.

Off-platform requests

If a carer asks you to move off-platform inappropriately, please report this to HBS.

Independent carer disclaimer. HBS is an introductory, verification and platform support service. HBS does not directly provide regulated personal care services, employ carers, manage rotas, supervise care delivery or direct ongoing support. Independent carers operate independently and families choose carers directly.
