Adult Services Overview

The Families and Communities Service exists to fulfil the Local Authority’s responsibilities to assist and support vulnerable adults living in Cardiff. These responsibilities and types of assistance are wide ranging. They arise from various pieces of welfare legislation introduced over the last fifty years. Whilst this legislation permits considerable discretion as to the precise nature of the assistance provided, there is an over-arching duty on the local authority to assist those vulnerable members of the Cardiff population to live safely, with dignity, and with the right to retain control over their own lives. Any social service intervention against the expressed wishes of those individuals will be exceptional and only taken if those individuals present a serious risk to themselves or others.
