Advocacy for social services clients

Advocacy and help for carers in the City

Social Services recognise the vital role of carers in providing support to our service users. To try and ease the pressure on carers we seek to provide information advice and support. If you are a carer, Social Services can offer you:

A carers assessment
Advice regarding benefits.
Services to help you take a break from caring
Adaptations that make caring in the home easier
Support and advice to help cope with stress
Information about other organisations which may offer you support

If you are a carer living in the City and want to help and support call our duty social worker on 020 7332 1224 or email us.

In addition to the services provided directly by the City of London, Social Services partners City & Hackney Carers also offer City carers independent help, advice and support and can be contacted direct on 020 8985 1600 or by email, or alternatively via the Social Services duty social worker.
