We also recognise that ill health can affect your whole family both practically and emotionally. We will help you to navigate the care system, ensure you are receiving the correct advice and welfare benefits, legal advice for Lasting Power or Attorney and can provide advocacy or mediation support in complex situations.

A carer is anyone who cares, unpaid, for a family member or friend who due to illness or disability cannot cope without their support. If required the social work team can meet with carers to identify their support needs and ensure they are linked in with appropriate carer support services.

Our social work team have a duty to protect those who are vulnerable and at risk. Ensuring the health and welfare of those using our services is paramount. If there are concerns they will be addressed appropriately.
