Disability Related Information and Advice Service
Information and signposting to independent living support services, referrals where necessary and referral to specialist support such as social services needs assessments, advocacy, legal advice and specialist benefits advice.

For survivors of the Grenfell Tower Fire, this includes face-to-face triage support to disabled survivors to identify all support needs and linking clients to the relevant support and services, including emotional support services, and providing ongoing casework as needed.

ADKC is fully accessible with accessible parking outside the entrance. We work in a user-led way and will help people to ‘tease out’ the different problems they present with and support people to access the services they need. We are aware that people in the local community are traumatized by the fire tragedy and more than ever need a sensitive listening approach to information and advice-giving.
