Start with a carer's assessment
If you look after someone, you are entitled to your own free carer's assessment from Nottinghamshire council, separate from the assessment of the person you care for. It looks at the effect caring has on you and can lead to funded breaks, a carer's personal budget or other support. Carers UK runs a free helpline on 0808 808 7777.
