Norwood Adult Family Support Service (previously know as Social Work Team) provides support for learning disabled adults and their families and decide on the most appropriate service for our users. Our Adult Family Support Team cover the areas of East, North, and North-West London.
This support can be emotional around issues of transition from adolescents to adult’s services, advocacy on behalf of the service user and we consult with other professionals within and outside of Norwood, to ensure they receive the best provision. We review the support on a regular basis to ensure that the person’s needs are being met.
Throughout our involvement we are working with a person centred approach.
Where we cannot help a person directly, our Adult Family Support Service will act as advocates, ensuring the user receives the right services from whoever can help.
We are also able to provide some limited financial support for individuals or families in need after carrying out an assessment.
Norwood also runs two support groups Exodus and Tachles.
The Exodus group provides support to adults with learning disabilities who would like to move-on or are planning to move away from their family.
The Tachles group provides support to parents and carers of adults with learning disabilities who are in the process of moving out from home.
For more information about joining one of this groups, please contact David Siedermann.
