Since April 2015, new legislation means young carers now have the right to an assessment. The young carers assessment in Sheffield is an accessible and useful tool providing a guided conversation to inform your own work with the young carer and their family, involving other services where appropriate, with the young person’s knowledge/consent. You can download the young carers assessment booklet and guidance notes here. For carers aged 18+, find out how to apply for an assessment here.
