Statement from the Social Worker they will be supporting :
I am a Social Worker and my role includes completing assessments for young adults with complex lifelong conditions. I need to access a substantial amount of written information from medical reports, school reports, and other professional reports. Once this information is accessible to me via my support worker and screen reader, I then compile reports and assessments as required on my laptop using JAWS. I also have to attend meetings in various locations across the north of the West Sussex County including homes, schools, and hospitals. I require support to safely access these locations as they are unfamiliar to me and although I use a guide dog to get to and from my workplace, it is not possible for me to safely access unfamiliar environments so require support from another person to facilitate this. My support worker is also required to take notes during meetings and visits. Lastly I require support with printing, filing, post, and other admin tasks
