Adult Social Care
CamdenAdult Social Care in Camden provides:
- Information about social care assessments and eligibility, and the What Matters approach to social care (see Related Videos)
- The option of direct payments to those who are eligible to draw upon certain care and support, so that they can choose the care services they wish to pay for
- Assistive technology to enable a person to live as independently as possible
- Safeguarding of vulnerable adults in need of social care support
- The option for a carers assessment (known in Camden as a carers conversation), to determine whether an unpaid carer would benefit from additional support or being connected to local services
Considerations when referring:
- Has consent been given by the person for you to refer them to social care?
- If not, why?
- Are there mental capacity issues?
- Are you making a best interest decision?
- Are there safeguarding issues?
- Is the person providing unpaid care to a friend or family member, and have they been referred for a carers conversation?
- Does the person have any communication requirements, for example a translator in British Sign Language or another preferred language, or written information in a preferred language or Easy Read?
Further information about Adult Social Care and what support is available (including a BSL video) is available in the Resources section.
