Short profile:
Aberdeenshire Council is too large to run as a single unit and Scottish Councils were required to bring forward proposals for decentralisation. Aberdeenshire Council has established six areas within which local decisions will be taken locally by elected Members. Corporate and policy matters will decided at Council headquarters. Aberdeenshire's six areas each have an Area Committee, an Area Manager and an Area Management Team.
Detailed description:
Social work supports people in need of care or protection to help them lead safe, independent, healthy lives. Social work has a statutory responsibility to assess an individual's need for care or protection and to make arrangements to meet those needs in an appropriate and holistic way. To meet its responsibilities, social work directly provides a range of services for people and also commissions services from voluntary and private care companies. Our eligibility criteria establish different levels of priority for access to care. Eligibility criteria provide transparency about the basis on which decisions are made by social work practitioners when giving services to those in greatest need or at most risk.
