We give priority to people with the greatest care needs when providing help or support. Find out If you are able to use our services and information on help from other organisations.
If you ask us for help, we will need to find out more about your needs or problems and how they are affecting your day-to-day life. We call this an assessment.

The way that people receive social care has changed recently. One of the main changes is the introduction of self-directed support. Social care support is arranged using the self-directed support process. The new arrangements allow you to have more flexibility and choice in arranging the services you need, for example, who provides them and when they are provided. We recognise that you are in the best position to know what kind of support will enable you to live as independently as possible. It’s your care.... and your choice.
