Looking after those who feel socially excluded. Taking care of elderly people. Supporting disabled people. Caring for children and young people. Enfield has a wide responsibility for the care of these and other vulnerable groups of people in society.  We manage a wide range of services that aim to meet the educational, recreational and social needs of particular sections of the community.
These social services include nursery nursing for pre-school children, youth and community work for specific groups such as the young and elderly, ethnic minority and gender groups and care work for a range of people including those with learning and physical disabilities.
Adults Services
The purpose of Enfield Council's Social Care Services is to work with the most vulnerable people to enable them to achieve sustainable independence and inclusion in the community.  The core roles in this area are Social Worker, Occupational Therapist and Care Worker
Children's Services
In children's services, we aim to provide a range of support services to "children in need" and their families. To do this we will support families in times of difficulty, and support children to ensure that they are safe and looked after properly by their families and carers.
Social Workers
Social work is the core area of social services. Employees are responsible for providing and co-ordinating a range of services in a sensitive and emotional environment that is critical to the welfare of those members of the community who most need our help and support.
