It is a requirement from central government that anyone who requests a service from a local authority social services department has an assessment of their needs. This will normally be in the form of a community care assessment.
Some users may have additional assessments from health professionals, such as occupational therapists and community nurses.

In addition, all carers are urged to have an assessment of their needs as a carer. Click the following link for information on carers assessments.
