Under the 2014 Care Act we have a duty to carry out an assessment of anyone who appears to have the need for care and support, regardless of their likely eligibility for state-funded care.
When Adults’ Social Care staff work with any individual they will consider their wellbeing, the prevention, reduction and delaying of needs arising. They will then provide relevant advice and information to the person.
If you would like to refer yourself or someone you know for an assessment, please use the online form below. The form is suitable for members of the public and professionals.
