To begin your assessment in Newham, you'll need to provide several key pieces of information. This includes personal details and an understanding of your needs and circumstances. Here's a breakdown of what's required:
| Information Needed | Description |
|---|---|
| Personal Details | Your name, date of birth, address, and telephone number |
| Current Support | Whether you are already known to Adult Social Care or local health services |
| Health Conditions | Any health issues you have and how they affect you |
| Support Systems | Details on who provides you with support and friendship |
| Frequency of Support | How often you require assistance |
| Desired Changes | What you wish to improve in your situation |
| Living Arrangements | What arrangements would help you maintain your wellbeing and independence |
You can complete a self-assessment online, which allows you to evaluate your strengths and needs in a guided way. If you prefer, a relative, friend, or carer can complete it on your behalf. Once submitted, a social care practitioner will follow up with a discussion about your needs and determine your eligibility for support.
