Carer's assessment

Plain English definition

From:

Think Local Act Personal (TLAP) Jargon Buster

Think Local Act Personal

If you are an unpaid carer for a family member or friend, you have the right to discuss with your local council what your own needs are, separate to the needs of the person you care for. You can discuss anything that you think would help you with your own health or with managing other aspects of your life. The council uses this information to decide what help it can offer you.
