Professionals: Request a minor adaptation for a child or young person

If you are a health or social care practitioner and have identified, through an assessment, that a child or young person requires minor adaptations to help them stay safe and independent at home, you can submit a request online for the council to complete the adaptations.

Before you start

Some points to consider before you make a referral:

Is your client a tenant of a registered social landlord?

If yes, please discuss your request with the RSL first, as they may be able to complete the works or grant permission.

Is your client a private tenant?

If yes, you must get permission from the landlord for the works to be completed before you make a referral.
