What the service does
Social work is an important part of the care provided by various different services. Many teams across the Trust include social workers along with other healthcare professionals.
Social workers often work with children and adults who may be vulnerable as a result of illness, disability and/or loss. They may also have experienced abuse or neglect.
Social workers help these vulnerable people by developing support networks in their families and local communities.
All our social work is carried out in the understanding that choice, autonomy and independence are important to everyone, especially the most vulnerable.
