We commission 5 wellbeing and prevention services to provide specific support to help residents to be as independent and well as possible.
Adults with autism who do not meet the eligibility criteria for adult social care may be able to use these services if they need support to live independently at home.
Advocacy Casework Service
An advocate is someone who can support you to:
- voice your needs, wishes and opinions
- put forward a case on your behalf. For example; make a complaint
- access health and care services if you have no-one else to help you
We'll help you if you need the support of an advocate when:
- you want to make a complaint about the NHS
- you need to stay in hospital due to a Section under the Mental Health Act
- you need help with the adult social care assessment process and have nobody appropriate to support you
