West
Sussex County Council (WSCC) provides social services in the district. The
service helps and supports many people of all age groups.
Social services often work with other agencies and organisations to provide help and support to people. It is their responsibility to advise and help people so they can live as independently as possible. They make sure that proper care and protection is provided where needed having done the appropriate needs assessment.
You can find out about needs assessments, and how to request one, on the WSCC website :
