Aberdeen City Council
The aim of Social Work is to promote social welfare and to support the informal care provided by families, neighbours and the community in general. Social Work is responsible for the provision of a wide range of services and resources to many people. These services are provided in public offices, their own homes, in day centres or in residential establishments. We have a duty to protect vulnerable people from abuse or neglect and to promote voluntary and self-help activities. We provide a service to a wide range of people:

In particular, we work intensively with those so deeply affected by bullying that they can barely face going to school that next morning
Better Health
While there has been progress in the equalities agenda over the last decade, there is evidence to suggest that inequalities persist in access to and the provision of health services. The Better Health briefing papers explore these inequalities, providing evidence and signposting practitioners towards good practice in health services.
