Needs assessment

Plain English definition

From:

Think Local Act Personal (TLAP) Jargon Buster

Think Local Act Personal

The process of considering whether you need help or support because of your age, disability or illness. Anyone who appears to have a need for care or support - regardless of how severe those needs are or how much money they have - is entitled to a needs assessment, which can be arranged by contacting the adult social services department at your local council and requesting it.
