What is a carer’s assessment?
As a carer you have a right to a statutory assessment under the Care Act 2014.
A carer’s assessment is a discussion with you that will help us understand the physical, emotional and practical impact that caring has on your life and to ensure you can access appropriate support ´ºÓêÖ±²¥ to help you in your role.
If you are care for an adult and caring has a major impact on your life, you can talk to about the help and support you may need. This is called a carer's assessment which ´ºÓêÖ±²¥ Carers Hub undertakes of behalf of the ´ºÓêÖ±²¥ City Council. This can happen even if the adult you care for is unwilling to accept help. Your assessment gives you the chance to discuss your needs.
