Why use oneSource Welfare services?
OneSource Welfare Service takes a partnership approach to assisting clients. We have established referral and signposting links with a number of Welfare and Debt Advice agencies across our area of benefit. We have in place a ‘seamless service’ to ensure that the client journey between agencies is as smooth as possible.
Our Welfare service uses the latest Advice Pro system technology used by most UK independent advice agencies. This enables us to record and report on caseloads, and to help target vulnerability and financial hardship. We are also able to provide detailed Management Information on the levels of Hardship and Vulnerability being experienced within a partner Council. We also regularly seek to target those who are “struggling” either financially or through various vulnerabilities, to ensure they are receiving the help they need.
