How long do I have a social worker or care manager?

The social worker will be your main contact for Adult and Community Services throughout the assessment and care planning process.

They will be able to provide you with information of services available in the community, i.e. support groups, specialist transport. They can also advise service-users where to obtain help or advice with matters such as benefit entitlement.

The social worker will normally continue working with the service-user until the presenting difficulty has been addressed. At this stage, if the service-user is being supported and their needs are being met, then the social worker will close their individual involvement at that time.
