Guidance for Completing an Adult Social Work Assessment 

Hey I'm really glad you found it useful 😁

👍☺️

Perfect ! As that's just how I was hoping it would come across. Really appreciate the feedback 😃

Thank you 💕

Hi that's great ! I hope everything goes really well for you 🙂

Pleased to hear that ☺️

Pleased to hear it 😁

Hi thank you. I do plan on doing one on safeguarding. Although, there are some brief overviews of both within my interview series on here 👍

Thank you ! In the UK local authorities will contribute towards care costs if someone has savings below £23,250. Capital tied up in property can impact on this if a 24 hour placement is needed. If someone has a primary healthcare need the NHS may find care via continuing healthcare funding.

Hi I think that totally depends on how it seems on the visit. Sometimes I end up doing them all together if multiple people need support (i.e the person and their carer). However, other times its better to do it a different time. It's useful to think about ensuring all involved feel free to speak so sometimes it's necessary to do them on a 1:1 basis with the person the assessment relates to.

Hey, if someone refuses an assessment you need to respect their decision in line with people's rights to decline the assessment and requirement for consent. However, if you do feel the person is at risk you may need to consider wider factors around risk and act accordingly. If you feel the person really needs the assessment you could find out why they are declining this and see if you can use social work skills to gain rapport with them and possibly involve others that they trust as part of this. There's lots to consider with this ! Thanks Kayleigh 😊

@@KayleighRoseEvans Thank you so much for such a clear response.🙂

@@AB-dx7rq No problem thanks for your support of my videos 😁

Hi, that's interesting 😊. Are you UK based or not ?

Hi I couldn't recommend a particular one but it may be worth looking at what past students at the unis say if you get a chance to speak to people or look at how they rank online. However, I would say how supportive they are with finding a placement is an important question to ask.

@@KayleighRoseEvans thanks 👍🙏

Yeah I think that's a really good idea. Will do this soon 🙂

Hi here is a link to a site which lists the legislation applied pre Care Act - www.peoplefirstinfo.org.uk/money-and-legal/legal/community-care-legislation/ I actually started practice just as the Act came in and this consolidated the previous legislation, putting it into one place.

Hey that's great. I love working in adults services. I work in the North West of England 😊
