Falkirk & Stirling Social Work Services

Falkirk & Stirling Council's Social Work Service works in partnership with other local authorities, NHS Forth Valley, Central Scotland Police and the voluntary sector to provide a wide range of important services for individuals, families and communities.

 

Our Social Work Service is separated into three main areas.

Community Care Service

The aim of Community Care is to provide high quality assessment and care management services, providing or organising suitable support services to vulnerable people, people with a disability and their carers.

Children And Families Service

This part of the service has a duty to promote the welfare of children in need in our area. We provide a range of services to protect children and to support families who may be experiencing difficulties.

Criminal Justice Service

The Criminal Justice Service aims to make the community a safer place by helping to rehabilitate offenders and identifying situations where someone may pose a high risk to others.

How Do You Get Help?

For a Community Care or Children and Families service you can contact us by phoning e-mailing or by visiting your local Social Work office.

What Happens Next?

After you have contacted your local Social Work office, a member of staff will discuss your situation and listen to your views on the kind of help you need.

 

From this initial enquiry, we will establish the urgency of your needs, and will carry out an assessment of needs as soon as we can.

 

We prioritise your need based on the information you give us. If we are unable to provide you with immediate assistance, we will try to give you an estimate of how long the wait is likely to be.
