Social Policy
Deirdre Cilliers
Head of Social Policy
Although Clackmannanshire has a strong local economy and is a good place to live, there are still people who are affected by poverty, disability, ill health, unemployment or inadequate housing and rely on specialist services to support them for short or longer periods.
The Social Policy Division works towards developing opportunities and services for those who need help so they can live as independently as possible, as well as promoting choice, giving people better access to services and building capacity in our communities.
Services covered
Social Policy is made up of the following services
Aims
In partnership, Social Policy aims to:
- support vulnerable young people to move successfully on into adult life
- allow people who are dependent to live at home or in their local community
- reduce levels of crime and violence
- reduce accidental and premature deaths
- improve health
- assist those on benefits to maximise their potential
We achieve this by delivering and commissioning:
- social care services to children and families
- social care services to adults and older people
- risk assessment and management of offenders
- social care housing including support for homeless people and housing support services
- a range of community services, including advice services and a coordinated approach to community development
