Sheffield City Council’s public information resource, the Sheffield Directory has a new ‘Triage Tool’.
It’s designed to guide you through a simple self-help assessment to identify areas where you may need support at home.
For example, if food shopping is becoming difficult, the tool links you to a range of solutions, such as:
• Online and telephone supermarket services
• Food delivery schemes
• Community transport
• Mobility aids
• Computer classes
• Home care services
The Triage Tool offers a practical alternative to contacting Adult Social Care for a formal needs assessment. It encourages people to explore support options independently, empowering choice and control.
You might find the Triage Tool especially helpful if:
• You’re exploring different sources of help and support at home
• You’re a carer wanting to learn more about available services
• You’re a support worker helping someone remain independent
It comes in the form of a questionnaire and based on your answers, you’ll receive links to useful information, services, and resources.
Try out the Triage Tool. You can give feedback on the site at the bottom of teh page.
