Refer an adult to Social Care Direct
Due to COVID-19, the Edinburgh Health and Social Care Partnership is providing a crisis response only, to adults. This is to ensure that we prioritise
- Adult Protection concerns
- hospital discharge
- prevention of admission
- end of life care in relation to adult services.
The Council continues to offer a service to all concerns raised in relation to children and their families.
Who we can help
Your needs must usually be critical or substantial to receive Social Care services. We offer many other services without the need for an assessment. Find out if you may have critical or substantial needs.
We have to give priority to the people who are at the most risk. Find out how we assess your needs.
