Adult Social Care Direct can also be contacted if you have concerns about abuse or neglect. If you're at risk of abuse of neglect, or suspect someone else is, you need to report it.

Mental health support

If you need some help because of mental health issues you should contact the Mental Health Access Hub run by Coventry and Warwickshire Partnership NHS Trust (CWPT), this is the first point of contact for people accessing CWPT mental health services.

Complete a self-assessment

You can complete a self-assessment if you think you need help or you care for someone who needs support. 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 wellbeing. We can also tell you how likely you are to be eligible for care and support and whether or not you would have to pay for some or all of the support you may receive.

Contacting us a professional

If you are a professional and feel the person you’re working with could benefit from some care and support, complete the online Adult Social Care referral form for:

  • Older people (65+)

  • Younger adults (18+) with a physical impairment, visual impairment or learning difficulty/disability
