cover PIC: CAMERA PRESS/Nicky Johnston<br />
For some, the role of becoming a carer is<br />
something that creeps up slowly as a<br />
loved one’s condition changes over time,<br />
for others it’s the result of a sudden, shocking<br />
crisis that throws their life into chaos.<br />
Either way getting the right support is<br />
crucial, although it can be really hard to know<br />
where to turn. As my own family discovered<br />
this week, there is help available but you<br />
have to know how to seek it out. All carers<br />
are entitled to a free Carers Assessment<br />
from their local council, who can make<br />
recommendations that might make life a little easier. You should also<br />
ask for a Needs Assessment for the person you care for<br />
as there may be equipment, changes to your home or<br />
practical help available. Simply contact your local Social<br />
Services department to request yours.<br />
Yours is proud to be the UK’s only magazine with<br />
a member of staff dedicated to caring for Britain’s six<br />
million carers and offering a free-to-join support group.<br />
