What is a Carer’s Assessment? A Carer’s Assessment is an opportunity to give you as a carer a voice and find out what support or services you may need. Someone from your local council or an organisation the council works with such as your local carers centre will complete the assessment.
The assessment will look at how your caring role affects your physical and mental health, work, free time and relationships.
The assessment is usually face-to-face but is sometimes completed over the phone or online.
One of the outcomes from a carers assessment could be a way to access a break from your caring role.
Contact your local carers centre or go to https://carers.org for more information.
