The Government knows that it can be a very hard job caring for
someone else.
If you care for someone else you have rights too.
These are your rights:
1. Right to have a carer's assessment from your local
council
A carer's assessment is where your local council will talk to
you about your work to care for someone else, and the needs that
you have.
The needs that you have are not just about caring for someone
else. They include other things in your life such as your paid job
and things you like to do in your spare time.
The council will then decide if it can help you get a regular
break from your job of caring for someone else.
