What is a Parent Carer’s Needs Assessment?
The assessment focuses on the parent and their needs. We will need to think about
- issues impacting on the parent carer
- what needs they have
- what they think might support them in their caring role and
- who already offers them support.
The parent carer’s needs assessment will explore the parent carers wellbeing such as
- personal dignity and respect
- physical and mental health and emotional wellbeing
- protection from abuse and neglect
- control by the individual over day-to-day life
- participation in work, education, training or recreation
- social and economic wellbeing
- domestic, family, and personal relationships
- suitability of living accommodation
- contribution to society.
The parent carer assessment is offered alongside a child and family assessment. To explore this further and make a self referral please contact Slough Children First sloughchildren.referrals@sloughchildrenfirst.co.uk or 01753 875362.
