| Annotation | Council procedures can be daunting for self-funders trying to find relevant information. The role of the social worker in this situation is to open doors. The author reviews two recent reports. 'Assessment denied? Council responsibilities towards self-funders moving into care' by Gillian Dalley and Michael Mandelstam (Relatives & Residents Association, 2008); and 'Transforming adult social care access to information, advice and advocacy' (IDeA, 2009). Comments are in the context of the Putting People First policy agenda and 'Transforming social care' (Local Authority Circular, LAC 2008(1) Department of Health). The reviewer concludes that the R&RA and IDeA reports are helpful in exploring information and advice provision, but that more investigation is required on implementation processes. (RH). |
