FACS Moderate Band

The Government guidance says that needs are moderate when:
  • There is, or will be, an inability to carry out several personal care or domestic routines.
  • Involvement in several aspects of work, education or learning cannot, or will not, be sustained.
  • Several support systems and relationships cannot, or will not, be sustained.
  • Several family and other social roles and responsibilities cannot, or will not, be undertaken.

Advice and/or redirection can be offered to support people whose needs are moderate. This may include redirection to community-based services supported by Durham County Council social care services.
