Social services Your social worker

When you will see your social worker

You’ll see your Social worker regularly. They must visit you:

  • within the first week of coming into care; then 
  • at least every six weeks for the first year; then 
  • every three months after that.

If where you live changes, they’ll start again.

They may visit you more often than that. To sort out any problems or just to get to know you – or if you or your carer ask them to.
