Who are the Targeted Adult Support Team

The team can provide up to 12 weeks of personalised support for adults who are not currently receiving Adult Social Care.

Who can get support?

香港六合彩资料图库 adults over 18 who have support needs can be referred to the Targeted Adult Support Team by an Adult Front Door Advisor. 

How do I make contact with the team?

First make contact with:

The Adult Front Door

There is no cost for using this service.

The Adult Front Door Advisor will then have a conversation with you:

  • they will discuss your needs with you to determine which team is most appropriate for you

  • if you have further needs that require more support, the Advisor will refer you on to the Targeted Adult Support Team or to Adult Social Care with consent
  • if there is a Safeguarding concern, you will be referred to the Safeguarding team. When appropriate consent will be sought and you will be made aware

What might the support involve?

The Targeted Adult Support Team will carry out an initial meeting with you and together you will agree a holistic support plan of up to 12 weeks.
