Carer's Assessment
If you are an unpaid carer you have a right to a carer's assessment. This assessment looks at your needs and what support is available to help you to continue in your caring role. You can fill in this form in your own time and send it to us.
The form asks questions about how caring affects your life, including:
- The impact caring has on your health and well-being.
- Whether you are experiencing any difficulties.
- If there is anything you would like to change about your caring role.
Before you start
- The assessment will take about 1 hour to complete.
- You'll need to register using an email address. This will allow you to save your form and come back to it at any time.
- If you care for more than one person, answer the questions in the assessment about the person you provide most care for.
- When you encounter a question with a red asterisk (*), it means the question is mandatory and must be answered to continue.
Make sure you have the following to hand
- Details of the person you care for: name, address, and date of birth.
- Details of anyone else you wish to be involved with your assessment.
