Carers assessment

If you are a carer, you may find it easier to continue in your caring role if you can get some more formal support.

If you are:

• caring for a disabled child under 18
• an unpaid carer of someone over 18
• under 18 and have caring responsibilities

You may be able to request a Carer's Assessment, which could result in help for you or the person that you care for.

To request an assessment, contact our social care team on 0300 123 6720.

Alternatively, you can ask your GP, health visitor or a voluntary organisation to contact us on your behalf or call Lancashire Carers Service on 0345 688 7113.

If your child is disabled and under 18, you can find out about the support we offer at our children, education and families page.
