How we can help carers
If you are a carer you can also have an assessment of your needs, regardless of whether the person you look after receives support from us or not. This assessment will look at how your caring responsibilities affect you and what sort of help you may find useful. A personal budget may be available following your assessment. This is for you to purchase your own support.
Confidentiality
The information you share with health and social care professionals will be treated in confidence. However, there may be some circumstances where the information needs to be shared with others. If you would like to find out more, please talk to the person working with you.
