Children with Disabilities (CWD) Team (Social Care)

The Children with Disabilities Team provides a social work service to children with disabilities, both learning and physical, within Redcar and Cleveland. Access to services from Children's Services is through referral and subsequent assessment by the team.

How will children or young adults (0 to 25 yrs) be considered for a disability social worker?

A referral should initially be made to the MACH (Multi Agency Children's Hub) Please telephone 01642 130700.  The worker will make a decision, based on the information provided, about which is the most appropriate team to complete the ‘Assessment of Need’.  A social worker will then be allocated from the appropriate team to complete the assessment and ensure that the criteria are met.
