Social Care Access

In Surrey we no longer have a dedicated social services department. Adults and Community Care is the service that provides social care for adults, working closely with the Primary Care Trusts (PCTs). Our new integrated Children's Service brings together social care and education services for children and young people.

Surrey County Council carry out needs assessments, which enable them to decide whether or not you're eligible for their services.

During your assessment, they discuss with you the levels of risk you or your carer may have to cope with if they do not provide services. Surrey County Council want to know whether your current living or care arrangements are at risk of breaking down if you don't receive their help or support.

The first part of this process is carried out by advisory officers, usually on the telephone. This is called an initial assessment. The advisory officer will discuss your situation with you to identify whether you may be eligible for services.
