Social Services are responsible for the provision of personal social services for adults and for children and families. They aim to support elderly people and people with disabilities or who are sick. They assist them to live in the community if this is possible and appropriate, or help them to find suitable residential or nursing home accommodation if this is their wish and meets their needs.

In working with children and families, Social Services aim to support families to bring up their children themselves and work in partnership with parents and other carers. Where the child’s interest require Social Services to look after them, Social Services will assist the family to keep in contact.
