Being a Carer and Carer's rights.

| Carer's assessment | If you look after a relative or friend and caring has a major impact in your life then a carer’s assessment could help you. You are a “carer” if you look after a relative, friend or disabled child who needs support to live at home. Your local council Social Services Department may be able to help to make things easier for you. They can provide services to the person you care for. They can also provide services for you. To work out what services would be helpful in your situation, social services need to discuss the help the person you care for needs, the help you are giving at the moment and the services your council may provide. The way this is done is called an “assessment” |
