Lancashire County Council County Enablement Service
We help people with a disability to develop the confidence and skills they need to live as independently as they can.
You are eligible for the service if you get support from Lancashire County Council social care and it will not cost you anything.
What we do
We will help you for up to 12 weeks. We will do activities to develop your skills or teach you new skills to help you to be more independent.
We will then review your support needs with your social worker.
An enablement support worker will work with you one-to-one to teach you the skills. We will also work closely with your family and other support provider if you have one.
An occupational therapist can also carry out assessments to enable you to reach your goals. This may include looking at how you can use assistive technology support your independence.
Skills you could develop
The new skills will help you to get more from your local community. You could develop skills in:
- College and training – accessing a course
- Keeping fit and healthy- going to a gym
