Social Care Online Accounts

This guidance will help you complete each step to register for a Social Care online account.

You'll need an email address and a landline or mobile phone number which has good signal. This is because you'll use it every time you log in.

How to register for an account, when invited by your worker

1. You'll receive an email titled 'Set up your My Norfolk Social Care Account'. If your worker says we've sent you an email, but you have not yet received it, check your spam folder.
2. The email will contain a unique code. When you receive the email, contact your worker. They'll ask you to confirm the code you have received.
3. Next, you'll receive an email titled 'Accept My Norfolk Social Care Account Invitation'. This will contain a link which you need to select.
