Care and Support team (CAST)
Who we support
We help adults who:
- have care and support needs mainly arising from a mental disorder
- are living in the community or in supported accommodation
What we do
We deliver targeted interventions aimed at reducing, preventing, or delaying the need for ongoing support while promoting greater independence.
We carry out annual reviews of care packages for adults eligible for a personal budget under the Care Act and for those receiving support under Section 117 of the Mental Health Act
Our team leads on Section 117 discharge assessments and discharge planning for people admitted to a psychiatric hospital under our care.
We provide complex case management for clients with multiple and challenging needs. We also lead on safeguarding enquiries for adults supported by our team.
