Assessments for social care

How to request social care help and support, including assessments.

After your social care assessment

Once your assessment is complete we will work with you to plan what you need.

If you need short term or crisis support, we will agree your support with you and put this in place as quickly as possible. 

Your support plan

You may take part in developing a support plan to help you regain your confidence and skills. Family and friends can be part of this process. 

Your support plan identifies what you want to achieve and what you need to make this happen. 

The plan will also describe any support you get from family, friends and the community. 

Self-directed support

You will be asked how you want your support arranged. There are 4 different options for managing your support and budget. 

The option you choose will depend on the control and involvement you want to have in arranging your support.
