After you transfer from children's services
After you transfer from children's services
The people who support you should make sure that you have as much help and information as you need straight after transfer. They should make sure you know who to speak to if you have any problems or concerns. This should include your GP and social worker if you have one. They should put you in touch with an advocate (someone who can provide independent support and represent your interests) if you need this.
Keeping in touch
If you don't come to meetings or appointments after you've transferred, someone from adults' services will try to get in touch with you and your family. They may speak to your GP and other people who have supported you. They should also ask your named worker to try to contact you. Your named worker should talk to you about whether your care and support plan is still right for you. They should check whether you need some help to use the service, or whether there is some other way to meet your needs.

What support is available to help me find employment, education or training opportunities?
-
What are the options for how I receive and manage my social care funding?
-
What should I do if my son, daughter or a person I care for opts out of contacting adults' services after they transfer?
