If you have been getting support from Hounslow’s children’s services, you will be assessed before your 18th birthday.
Decision to transfer to adult social care
Our decision to transfer you to adult social care, following the transition assessment, is based on if you:
- have needs for adult care and support
- have such needs and the available support can meet some or all of them
- have such needs but decide the available support is not going to meet them (either because the needs are not eligible or because the needs are already being met)
After this assessment, you will either:
- need to be transferred to one of the two adult social care teams:
- not need to be transferred to adult social care services
You can learn more about adult social care on the main Hounslow Council website.
