There is a range of support available to carers from Nottinghamshire County Council and the NHS. For many services you will need to have a carer's assessment or the person you care for will need a community care assessment.

Use the links below to find out more about the support available to carers. You can also download the 'Do you look after someone? factsheet [PDF] which also describes the services available.

See our young carers pages for the support we provide to children and young people under the age of 25 who care for others.
