Welcome to our Procedures for Adult Social Care & Housing
These procedures, practice guidance, and tools should be used as required by practitioners across all adult social care and housing teams and services in Dorset Council.
The information included will:
- Guide and inform practice;
- Provide information about local policy and procedures for social workers, occupational therapists, other social care practitioners and housing colleagues in Dorset Council; and
- Keep practitioners up to date with local and national developments in adult social care.
Note: The guidance on this site is based on national legal requirements and best practice. Some sections have been localised but to ensure that your practice meets and reflects our internal processes and local requirements, you should always check the Local Resources area for any additional guidance.
