Who is in Adult Social Care
This page outlines a sequence of steps that follow when a referral is received. It includes various actions that are taken at each Conversation and when decisions are made.
Attached is a map that sets out the steps, starting from when the person finds out where to get help, through to being connected to support.
Upon receipt of a referral from Contact Camden Front Door
When a referral is received, it is recorded, and then referred to the relevant Neighbourhood Team to complete a Conversation 1.
Actions as part of Conversation 1 may include:
• signposting to other services
• connecting people to the wider community (e.g. Social Prescribing)
• providing information, advice and guidance.
If ongoing support is needed the person is moved to a Conversation 2.
Actions as part of Conversation 2
At Conversation 2, a Neighbourhood Team Manager would triage and prioritise for risks and mitigations to ensure they remain safe.
Examples of support a person might also receive at Conversation 2 are:
• Family Group Conferencing, although FGC may be offered at any point in the person’s care journey
• Reablement.
Actions as part of Conversation 3
If ongoing support is required Conversation 3 would be completed.
In this stage:
• a conversation would be about what the person’s long term care could look like to enable them to build a meaningful life.
• eligibility determination and financial assessment could be completed so that commissioned care can be put in place.
