This toolkit has been developed to help people with multiple needs - defined as combinations of homelessness, mental ill-health, addiction, and offending – to record their needs for care and support services, in the context of the Care Act. It provides a step-by-step guide to working through the Care Act 2014 eligibility regulations, covering physical and mental health needs; ability to meet the eligibility criteria for support, and impact on wellbeing. It allows different the viewpoints to be recorded side by side: that of the person being assessed, their support worker or advocate and that of the social work assessor. It aims to help people with multiple needs, their support networks and advocates, and social care professionals to realise the potential of the Care Act and help improve access to care and support services. The toolkit does not aim to replace a thorough professional assessment. (Edited publisher abstract)
