LIAISON AND OUTREACH SERVICE
Since SAFSS founding in 1986, Liaison and Outreach has remained central to our service delivery and how we as an organisation support South Asian families.
Research conducted by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation in the 1980’s identified many South Asian families who had a child or adult with a disability were not accessing mainstream care and support services due to the lack of culturally sensitive services and translations services. In 2009 this continues to be an issue for families.
Our Liaison and Outreach Workers will support families to apply for benefits, including Disability Living Allowance, Incapacity Benefit, Child Benefit and Housing Beneift. Our workers will also support families to attend hospital and school reviews, GP appointments and act as an advocate as and when required. A translation service is also available.
For further information on this service please contact Neelam Pallen or Usha Ghai on (0121) 558 2198 safss@btconnect.com or liaison.safss@btconnect.com
