If you’re over 18 and provide regular unpaid care for someone, you’re entitled to a carer’s assessment.
If you are under 18, request an assessment as a young carer.
A carer's assessment is a voluntary confidential conversation we have with you to discuss the support you provide, how it affects you and what we can do to help. It can be done at a time and place that suits you, the person you care for does not have to be there.
The assessment will cover:
- your role as a carer
- how you feel about caring
- whether you’re able or willing to carry on as a carer
- your health
- your work
- other caring responsibilities
- what you enjoy doing in your free time
- planning for emergencies
