Help for Carers from West Berkshire Council

Carers assessments and working out what support you need

If you provide necessary unpaid care or support to an adult family member, friend or partner, you may be eligible for support. 
Adult carers that look after someone who lives within West Berkshire can request a carer's assessment by:

• completing our online enquiry
• downloading and completing our  WBC Carers assessment/review summary form [123kb]
• alternatively, completing the  Carers 'Understanding your Needs' Information Gathering Form [544kb], a document which provides a range of questions / prompts that may help you consider your caring role (this was developed following feedback from Berkshire Carer services)

If you need help with completing your carers assessment please contact Adult Social Care  - we'll give you some advice on how to fill it out.

Reading and West Berkshire Carers Hub provide support and information to carers.  If you would like further information please complete the  Reading and West Berkshire Carers Hub Referral Form [64kb].
