Although the Local authority Social Services department provide an assessment and care service for all sections of the community, sometimes clients wish to go direct to alternative providers of care, without involving Social services.
The council is currently developing an on line resource database of all organisations and suppliers of services for Children and familys, which should be avilable shortly.
There are many private care agencies that provide care services. Guide2care is a comprehensive information service for those providing care and those seeking information about the different care options available and can be found from the following link:
