Search:          Carers Issues > Assessment: Assessments are designed to determine if carers are eligible for support and if so to identify what support is needed by the carer. The assessment will also see if those needs can be met by social or other services. Under the terms of the Carers Equal Opportunities Act 2004 Social Services Departments have a duty to inform carers of their right to assessment. The assessment is carried out to help carers to care and also to assist them in continuing at work or look at learning and leisure opportunities. main topics Benefits & Finance Carer Profiles Carers & Work, Learning, Leisure Carers Association Southern Staffs Carers Issues Carers Legislation Legal Issues That Affect Carers National Plans & Strategies North Staffs Carers Association Staffs NHS Staffs Social Care & Health Staffs Voluntary Sector UK Carers Projects to find out more about CASS, click here to visit our new minisite!   home   about us | quick help | news & notices | faq | links | contact us | home Carers Issues > Assessment - index of articles key: document available as ADOBE PDF File, click to open (you can download the PDF reader by clicking here) document available as a WEB PAGE, click to open   document is available on a third party website, click to open document in a separate window.
