Doorstep- Young Person’s Specialist Advice Service
Specialist advice on a range of subjects including money matters, benefits, debt, and health & well-being concerns.
Adult social care
Support from adult social care can be discussed from Year 9 onwards. A referral will be made around the time a young person turns 16 years old to establish if they are likely to be eligible for support at age 18.
At age 18 responsibility for social care support will pass from children’s social care services to focus adult social care. When young people move into adult social care there may be a charge for some services. Further information on this will be provided at the assessment you can also ask to see the charging policy.
This PfA.pdf (councilfordisabledchildren.org.uk) provides information on the overlaps between the Children and Families Act and the Care Act.
Contact the Focus adult social care single point of access for more information about their services.
