About the service
If you or an adult that you care for has a learning disability we can provide advice and information to help you live more independently.
Request a referral
Contact Careline and ask for a referral to the learning disability social work team.
You can also request a referral from a health professional, such as your GP, community psychiatric nurse or speech therapist.

After you have made your request, a social worker will arrange a convenient time to visit you and your family to make an assessment.
