Carers Self Assessment

The Carers Self Assessment form can be used by any carer regardless of your caring situation and it can be used for a variety of reasons including the following:

• If you do not want to have a formal assessment carried out but would rather make your own assessment of your caring situation to forward to your Care Officer/Care Worker.
• If you feel that you do not need a formal assessment but would like to help us build a better picture of Carer Service demands in  Moray so that we can continue to develop appropriate services.
• If you would just like to take stock of your caring role.
