Thanks for your response thus far.

I am looking for more in depth information that what has provided in the your recent response. The request stated that I was looking for a break down of the services within each Social Work discipline (Adults / Children and Families / Criminal Justice) though the only info which has been supplied is for the service as a group, not a break down of the teams and contacts for each one.

Could this please be assessed?

Thanks in advance,
Chris
