Carers and Their Rights – The Law relating to Carers

Carers have a number of legal rights to services and support. This includes the legal right to be offered a Carers Assessment and the right to have their views taken into account in any care plan for the person they care for.

Professor Luke Clements of Cardiff University is a recognised expert in community care law. His handbook “Carers and their Rights” is regarded as the seminal guide to carers legal rights and can be downloaded from the link below.
