The way Adult Social Care is organised has changed. [449kb]
Adult Social Care want to support you through the sometimes difficult process of understanding what adult social care is available, and to keep you informed about the options you have. Our goal is to give you the advice and information you need to help you stay in your own home and be as independent as possible.
Our leaflet, Working with you to understand your needs and circumstances [1Mb] leaflet provides a summary of ways we can assist you. We have also produced 
a brochure [13Mb] which provides an overview of all our adult social care information leaflets.
