Find Out More About Social Work Assessments

A social work assessment is typically conducted with the aim of assessing a person’s care and support needs in order to identify which services they are eligible for. Check out our terminology page for more information on some of the most common acronyms that you may encounter as you navigate the complex Adult Social Care system. Most people choose to request an assessment via their local Council, which is free. However, there are often long waiting lists for adult care assessments and if you are going to be paying for your care privately, rather than accessing Council funding, you may wish to have a private assessment too to save time. Arranging a private social work assessment also means that you will have access to a social worker with expertise in a particular area of need.
