Apply for a carer's conversation

A carer is anyone who cares, unpaid, for a friend or family member who due to illness, disability, a mental health problem or an addiction cannot cope without their support.

The carer's conversation is an opportunity to discuss your needs as a carer and identify available support. This form is designed for you to provide your details to Citizens Advice Mid Mercia, who will contact you to start a carers conversation. This may involve linking with other organisations to ensure the best possible outcome for you.

Once you have had a carer's conversation, Citizens Advice Mid Mercia may refer you to adult social care for a more formal carers assessment if they feel you need more support. It can take up to 3 months for a social care worker to contact you.

If you feel you need a carers assessment without having to go through the carer's conversation first, please contact Derby Direct on 01332 640777.
