The social worker role
Adult social work is assessment and decision making under the Care Act. You work out what somebody needs, what the law says the council must do about it, and how to arrange support that the person actually recognises as their life.
Safeguarding runs through all of it, alongside mental capacity assessments, best interest decisions and the hard conversations with families who want a different answer from the one the assessment supports.
