The aim of this policy and practice guidance (which is issued under section 7(1) of the Local Authority Social Services Act 1970) is to set out theGovernment’s view of the issues for local councils in exercising the power given them by the Act as it affects: carers (aged 16 or over) who provide or intend to provide a substantial amount of care on a regular basis for another individual aged 18 or over; and people with parental responsibility for a disabled child who provide or intend to provide a substantial amount of care on a regular basis for the child. In dealing with the needs of children (including those aged 16 and 17) the Framework for the Assessment of Children in Need and their Families remains the main source of guidance for local councils. The accompanying practice guidance advises on how local councils might implement the Act, while the practitioner’s guide to assessment sets out carer assessment good practice.
