Sunderland City Council Adult Services and Children's Services aims to help support people with HIV/AIDS, including their families or carers. The amount and type of help we can give will depend upon individual needs, but we can provide both information and access to a range of services by working closely with health services and voluntary organisations.

The main areas of work at Sunderland City Council's Adult Services and Children's Services includes:

· Prevention of the spread of HIV
· Provision of information
· Assessment for services
· Support for people living with HIV
· Support for carers
· Training
· Integrating work with other agencies
· Advice and support for Local Authority staff
· Advice and support to the public

The following office can be contacted for further information:

Specialist Social Care Team working in the Adult Services and Children's Services HIV Unit: Monkwearmouth Hospital, Newcastle Road, Sunderland SR5 1NB - Tel: 0191 569 9197 or Fax line: 0191 516 9496 (other numbers which will put you in contact with a member of the team: 0191 565 6256 ext 48225, 48345 or 49197).

It is usually easier to contact Care Managers (Social Workers) between 9 and 10am Monday to Friday. If staff are not available, a message can be left on the answer phone or alternatively a fax can be left.

Direct Payments allows Adult Services and Children's Services to make financial support payments (known as Direct Payments) to people to enable them to organise and purchase their own community care services that they have been assessed as needing, instead of receiving services we arrange for them.
