How Do I Request a Carer’s Assessment?

You can request a carer’s assessment by phone or email, and Medway says you don’t need permission from the person you care for. If your caring situation changes later, you can ask for a re-assessment too.

If you’re a young carer, there’s a different process: Medway asks you to request a young carer’s assessment through Carers First, including request a young carer’s assessment online or by phoning 0300 303 1555 or emailing youngcarers@carersfirst.org.uk.
