The Care Act 2014
|
In April 2015 The Care Act 2014 replaced most previous law regarding carers and people being cared for.
It outlines the way in which local authorities should carry out carer’s assessments and needs assessments; how local authorities should determine who is eligible for support; how local authorities should charge for both residential care and community care; and places new obligations on local authorities. |

Support for Young Carers

A young carer is someone under the age of 18 who looks after an adult in their family network who needs support because of a disability, physical or mental health conditions, or substance misuse issues.
If you or someone you know is a young carer, information, advice and support is available. East Sussex Young Carers (ESYC) provides a targeted service across East Sussex and works closely with other services. |
