Description
Flintshire County Council Social Services are looking to recommission its Unpaid Carers Services (including Young Carers). A carer is broadly someone who provides or intends to provide care and support to a family member, partner or friend who needs help because of their age, physical or mental illness, or disability; this does not include someone who is paid or employed to carry out that role, or someone who is volunteering (Social Services and Well-being (Wales) Act). The local Authority has a number of duties under the Act, terms of supporting carers. - To identify carers that provide or intend to provide care for an adult or disabled child. - A duty to assess a carer where there appears to be a need for support, regardless of the level of needs or resources. The assessment will focus on ‘what matters’ to the carer and the carers needs in their own right. - A carer is entitled to a joint assessment with the cared for if it is considered beneficial and there is consent from both. - A duty to meet the needs of the carer following an assessment, depending on eligibility. - The carer’s assessment should be reviewed annually or when there is a significant change in circumstances. - Provide advocacy support for carers. Flintshire Social Services delivers a wide range of services for carers, both in-house and commissioned through external third sector providers. Each service has a defined specification with a set amount of funding to deliver services to specific groups of carers within Flintshire.
