Balancing need: The relationship between carers’ assessment and needs assessment: Key Issue (2014)
The views, needs and rights of carers are becoming increasingly important. The Care Bill, soon to be passed into law as the Care Act 2014, proposes that ‘carers will be recognised in the law in the same way as those they care for’ (DH, 2013). Changes in the Care Bill mean that carers who are over 18 and caring for an adult will be entitled to an assessment of their needs for support and the outcomes they wish to achieve.
