Carers assessment

A carer's assessment could be your first step to receiving help and support. It is about you, the carer, not the person you care for. It is a chance to see how life could be made easier for you and that could benefit both yourself and the person you care for.

The assessment explores your caring situation. It looks at how the care you give affects you emotionally and physically. It allows us to assess what help and support you need going forward.

Please visit the Carers UK website [external link] where you can find lots of useful information about carer's assessments. There are also tips on preparing for the assessment and some frequently asked questions, such as;

  • Can I have a carer's assessment?
  • What happens before, during and after the assessment?
  • What support could I get?
  • What if I do not agree with the assessment?
