This will be complemented by legal advice being delivered at Tier 3. All social care referral, homeless referral and or hospitalisation Tier 4 advice will be referred into the appropriate Council teams. The commissioned Service will act as the primary front door for all social welfare advice queries and host and an efficient and robust triage, referral and assessment function with clear connectivity to the wider social welfare and advice services offered both in and outside of the Council.
