Adult social care charging reform: minimum viable product (MVP) software requirements specification

of
Self-assessment
from
Think Local Act Personal (TLAP) Jargon Buster
A form or questionnaire that you complete yourself, either on paper or online, explaining your circumstances and why you need support. A social care worker or advocate can help you do this. If your council asks you to complete a self-assessment form, it will use this information to decide if you are eligible for social care services or if you need a full assessment by a social worker.
