As a carer you have the right to:

A carers assessment
Access to a self carers assessment
A market of services to support you
Advocacy services

You or someone else can ask your local carers centre to visit you to carry out a carers assessment or they are accessible from social services on 01217048007.

If you have already had a carers assessment, you can request to have it reviewed if you feel that your needs or circumstances have changed.
