This paper examines social care workers that deal with dual diagnosis patients, aiming to discover if they have the right amount of support. The paper begins by providing an outline of what dual diagnosis is, and follows by examining the treatment and the role of the care workers. The review of literature examines topics like Co-Morbidity training and training deficiencies. Data is collected through interviews with social workers, which are provided in the appendices. The results are examined in reference to issues including the training the care workers received, risk assessment, and dual diagnosis. The paper concludes by summarising the research and analysis, to discover whether the training and workload for these workers is reasonable. The paper presents the limitations of the study, and the recommendations for future research and for improving the situation.

KEYWORDS: Social care workers, dual diagnosis, treatment, co-morbidity, training deficiencies, risk assessment, training, workload, mental health social care workers,
