The Adult Social Work Team provides a generic social work service to any adult who requests or requires an assessment for care. Our supported people include adults with dementia, mental health difficulties, brain injuries, lifelong conditions, autism, learning disabilities, physical disabilities, older and frail people, unpaid carers and those at risk of abuse. In addition, Adult Social Work supports young people with additional support needs in transition, alongside colleagues in Integrated Children’s Services, NHS Shetland, Adult Services and the third sector.
