Guidance notes
We recommend that you read the following before you complete this form:
Guidance for carers
if you are a carer, and require a 'carers assessment' to address your social care needs, you only need complete Sections A, B and C on this form. In Section C make sure you write 'Carers Assessment' so we can process more efficiently.
This RTF form is an accessible version of the Background Information & Contact Assessment form. It may look slightly different and takes up more pages, but collects the same data. It may take you longer to complete.
This form is available in Adobe Acrobat (PDF) format and Rich Text format. If these don't work for you, we can help you with viewing files.
