We help people live healthy and independent lives, whatever that may look like for them. We look at people's strengths, capabilities, support network, community and difficulties and work with them to find solutions.
If you are being harmed or neglected or worry that you might be, contact Health and Social Care Connect. You can also contact them about someone else, even if you're not sure.
You can call anonymously. If you contact us outside of normal working hours and your situation requires emergency adult social care intervention before the next working day , Health and Social Care Connect will pass your details to our Emergency Duty Service. There are lots of ways we can work with you, and places you can find more information. For example:. For more information on the eligibility criteria, read our factsheet: Who qualifies for our support?
Most people pay some or all of the costs of their care. Even if you do not have eligible social care needs, we will give you information about your options and recommend support that could help you. We have lots of information available in different formats, so you can find out what you need in the most suitable way for you. We also link to our trusted websites and directories of local services , community and voluntary organisations that could support you or get you involved in your community.
We produce a range of information leaflets and factsheets. You can request a copy of any of these from Health and Social Care Connect in a range of different languages, in easy read format and in large print. We can listen to your needs, find out what you want to achieve and tell you about possible options, including ways to build on your strengths, and support that might be available to maximise your independence.
