The assessment will help you and your worker jointly decide what help you need and what help the person you look after needs (if you are having a joint assessment).
The assessment of your needs as a carer can include many areas depending on your age and needs and those of the person you look after. The areas of an assessment can include:

• Your role as a carer
• Your health and wellbeing
• Practical matters
• Work, learning and leisure
• The future
