Get a carer's assessment

A carer's assessment is a conversation about your wellbeing. It is not a test of your ability as a carer.

It's an opportunity for you to talk about how you feel and identify sources of support for you. It will look at:

• Your feelings
• Your physical, mental and emotional wellbeing
• The sustainability of your role as a carer - whether it's something you are able to continue doing long-term
• How caring affects your work, finances, leisure, education, wider family and relationships
• What you'd like to achieve

The assessment can be just for you as a carer, or you can have a combined assessment with the person your care for.
