I assume you mean the 'mother-in-law' receives the DP and then employs someone to care of her. If this is the case then the DP recepient takes on the legal responsibilities of an employer - tax, NI, health and safety, holidays, right to a contract etc. I would suggest initially contacting the DP team in the local authority adult services. In most local authorites there is a team that is responsible for administering DP. They will have set-up and be momitoring the DP. They would have normally explained what the recepient needs to do to conform with empoyment law etc.
