What is the Care Act 2014? It sets out local authorities’ duties in assessing people’s needs and eligibility for publicly funded support and care. Assessment and eligibility form a crucial part of this. The procedure allows people to understand their situation and access the right support at the right time. It’s a critical intervention in its own right and the key interaction between the individual and their local authority.

In this course we cover the assessment and eligibility process. It is one of the most important elements of the care and support system. The assessment is the key interaction between the local authority and an individual. It should not just be seen as a gateway to care and support, but should be a critical intervention in its own right, which can help people to understand their situation and access support when they require it.
