Getting a carer's assessment

If you are a carer then Telford & Wrekin Council may be able to offer you some support.  The Carer's Assessment team will discuss your needs and make sure you are getting any available help.  If you would like a carers assessment then please contact the Access Team on 01952 381280. 

You can also use the contact assessment form. 

You can also find out more information by reading our Carers Assessment information leaflet

Following your assessment, you may be entitled to a 'Carer's direct payment'.  This is a one off payment to help you have a break from your caring role.  You can also find out more information by reading our need a planned break? leaflet.
