Will I need to pay for my care and support?

You will need to have a financial assessment to check if you will need to contribute towards the cost of your care and support.

The financial assessment is conducted by the county council's Financial Assessment Team.

This takes place because social care services are not free to everyone.

If services are provided by the named educational establishment as set out under Section I of the Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) for educational purposes then the service is provided free of charge.

More information about charging can be found in the ‘Money’ section of WSCC Adult Social Services publications.
