‘Carer known by association’ should be used in cases when support for the carer has been provided and recorded solely in the cared-for person’s records during the reporting period. This is the only instance where a row of data will show person details and carer information, but not contain any event details.

‘Carer known by association’ rows of data are required when carer support is recorded solely in service user rows, e.g.

• the carer has been involved in an assessment with the person cared for and/or
• support is arranged for the cared-for person for the benefit of the carer e.g., respite care, and only appears on the cared-for person’s records
