PDAO and social-welfare coordination for adult support referrals
Official guidance on needs assessment, referrals and community integration.

What this resource offers
The PDAO–LSWDO guidance describes coordinated assessment, social case studies, counselling, referral letters and case conferences, including transition from institutional care to community integration. It is useful when a family needs more than one service or is planning adult support. Start at either local office and request a needs-led assessment and written referrals. Confirm which provider has the relevant programme, current capacity and intake process.
Helpful questions for your next conversation
- Can you arrange a case conference covering daytime activity, work, transport, carer support and future housing?
- Will you give us a written referral and tell us which local provider has current capacity?
