The Care Act


​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.
