If you are caring for a child or young person with special educational needs or disabilities (SEND), you are a carer - and you may be entitled to support for yourself.
Caring can be rewarding, but it can also affect your health, work, relationships, and emotional wellbeing. A Carer’s Assessment is a chance to talk about the impact of your caring role and get the support you need.
In Croydon, carers’ assessments are available for parents, family members, or others who care for a child or young person with SEND. Being a carer doesn’t mean doing everything alone.
A Carer’s Assessment is a positive step towards getting the support you deserve - so you can look after yourself while caring for someone you love.
