All our Lead Practitioners, Team Managers and Service Managers in Mental Health act as leads in various areas of Social Care.  As Social Care Leads, they are a source of information and advice on a particular area for staff in Mental Health to call on when needed.  They are links with our colleagues in ASC to ensure that there are consistent pathways across both ASC and Mental Health, to aid communication and to contribute to any new developments and initiatives to ensure that Mental Health is considered, included and actively providing input.

As Social Care Leads, they hold no clinical responsibility for individual cases as part of their Lead role, but rather acts in the capacity of mentor, advisor and link.
