Our success Just a few of our testimonials… “Financial assessments for Adult Social Care is a niche business. We contacted a number of agencies but none of them could provide any staff with financial assessment knowledge or experience.” David Jackson, Resource and Transformation Manager, North Lincolnshire Council North Lincolnshire Council, ASC Financial Assessments “Civica’s staff are more experienced which gives our team confidence in the work they deliver. Or maybe they’re just better at it than other providers.” Karen Ironside, Revenues & Benefits Manager, East Ayrshire Council East Ayrshire Council, Revenues & Benefits Processing “In the new local government environment, the days of knowing exactly what you need and when you’re going to need it are long gone. Demand is changing virtually by the week. To have the real flexibility offered by OnDemand Resource is invaluable.” Alison Blount, Head of Revenues & Benefits, Stockport MBC Stockport Metropolitan Borough Council, Revenues & Benefits Processing If you would like to speak to anyone of our clients about Civica OnDemand, please get in touch and we will be happy to provide you with an introduction

Any queries were dealt with professionally and quickly. It also helped that the assessors had prior knowledge and experience of the systems we use which made it that much easier adapt to our process and to pass on our work and get the ball rolling quickly” Javed Allibhaye, Financial Services Manager Bolton Council Explain what we did in York and Bolton We can also support you with Direct Payment Financial Reviews
