Support for the vulnerable

I would like to see council caseworkers assigned to support vulnerable people in the county. Such people emerge periodically needing help but their problems generally span multiple council or government departments.

A caseworker could help vulnerable, often elderly, people to address issues across pensions, scams, homelessness, housing benefit, safe accommodation etc. The caseworker would ideally take all necessary action for the individual or ensure that council/government departments or voluntary agencies do it for them.

Currently we have a shocking number of vulnerable adults struggling to cope around the county.
