including: -
 Emotional support to clients and their families
Assisting with benefit claims
Form filling
Giving information about legislation
Linking various agencies together in the interest of the client
Social activities
Assisting with housing difficulties
Assisting with arranging holidays

Etc. etc.
The Social Worker will attend the reviews of the members of the Bramley Hill Centre
and residents of the Jean Garwood House, if possible, and if it is at the request
of the client.
The Social Worker offers independent living skills support to some people with
cerebral palsy who are living independently in the community. The support varies
and could include liasing with other agencies or offering advice and support on the
financial side of independence.
A carers group runs bi-monthly with a variety of invited speakers, who give
information about themes associated with Cerebral Palsy and disability issues e.g.,
welfare benefits, carer’s issues.
The Social Worker links in with the residents and staff at Jean Garwood House,
offering support and advice where needed.
The Social Worker chairs the residents meeting at Jean Garwood House. This is
another way of keeping in touch with them, and knowing what the residents needs are
within the home.
