Physical disabilities

If you have a physical disability we have a range of services to help you maintain or get back your independence. This includes:

  • independent living services
  • accommodation
  • day support
  • short breaks
  • vocational training
  • rehabilitation services
  • re-ablement services

You, your family or carer should fill out a referral form. You can also contact your local social work office.

How to get our services

Your assessment will be done by a member of the Adult and Older People Services team but may also involve social work and/or occupational therapy staff. As well as involving you in the assessment we may consult with your family or other carers, as well as other Council departments, health staff and other organisations. We will look at range of options with you and develop a support plan which can be updated if your needs change.

For more information contact your local social work office.
