Anyone who is providing regular care for a disabled child or young person can ask the Social Care & Housing Department for a Carer’s Assessment for themselves. You can ask someone to come and visit you to undertake the Assessment or you can fill in a simple questionnaire yourself.
WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF A CARER’S ASSESSMENT?
A Carer’s Assessment is your opportunity to let Social Care know about your own circumstances. By filling in the form it tells the department how much care you provide and what sort of care you are involved with. It also tells them how caring affects you, what help you get now and what help you think you may need.
If you think you would like to have a Carer’s Assessment you should contact:
