Stockton First Contact Social Services

We support adults whose needs arise from, or are related to, a physical or mental impairment or illness.

As a result of their needs the adult is unable to manage their daily life and there is likely to be a significant impact on their wellbeing.

We also offer help, where needed, to carers and young carers of anyone falling into the above categories who provides necessary care, whatever their age or wherever they live, provided the person they care for is a resident of Stockton-on-Tees Borough.

Anyone who needs care and support has a right to information, advice and an assessment of their needs.

Our First Contact Team will discuss in detail the help you require. A trained member of staff will use a screening tool to assess the adult's care and support needs and wellbeing. The screening ensures the adult is directed to the correct person or department to support them.
