What is a Parent Carer Needs Assessment?

A Parent Carer Needs Assessment is a chance to talk about how caring for your child affects your day-to-day life, wellbeing, health, work, relationships and other responsibilities. It helps identify what support may make things easier for you and your family.
It is not a test of your parenting or something you can pass or fail. A Parent Carer Needs Assessment will be undertaken alongside and assessment of your child or young person.

It can be completed in different ways:

  • by phone
  • face to face with a practitioner
  • or independently by filling it in yourself and returning it
The assessment can take up to 45 working days to be completed.
