Support for people with sensory impairments
Do you face challenges in your life? Or do you need advice for a family member?
Why not try our self-help tool?
By answering some quick questions about your current situation, we can direct you towards information, advice and services that could help you to live independently and improve your life.
This could include useful telephone numbers and ideas.
What happens next?
If you are still facing challenges after using the self-help tool then you can complete a self-assessment online. If you have two or more needs then the tool will offer you our online self-assessment.
If you are not looking for advice or information or to submit an assessment, but want to discuss something else, contact us via Adult Social Care on 0345 155 1007.
