How to request a carers assessment?

If you would like to request carer's assessment, please contact Carers First Southend.

Carers First will complete the assessment with you, talking through your role as a carer and the impact caring has on different parts of your life, along with what support is available to you.

Carer's support can also include carer's personal budget, which is an amount of money paid by Southend-on-Sea City Council Adult Social Care services.

If you would like a joint assessment with the person you care for, it is quicker and easier to make a referral on our portal.

If you do not have access to the internet, please call our Contact Centre on 01702 215008.

Once we have received your information, we will contact you to discuss your caring role, the needs of the person you support, and the support available to you.
