Services for Carers
The aim of Social Work is to promote social welfare and to support the informal care provided by families, neighbours and the community in general. This support to carers takes a wide variety of forms including day respite, residential respite, provision of one-to-one workers, etc.
All carers that come into contact with Social Work are entitled to a carer’s assessment.
