**A difficult time to care**Across the UK our social care system is more stretched than ever with increased demand and decreasing budgets.The lack of capacity in the system is placing additional pressures on the unpaid carer community that provide the much needed day to day support for their friends and families.The vast majority of the UKs 6.5M carer community are unsupported by their local authorities.**Reforms on the way**On 7 September 2021, government set out its [new plan for adult social care reform in England][0].These reforms are welcomed by those with caring responsibilities. They place additional legal requirements on Local Authorities to provide financial and other support to family carers and the cared for.There will be a significant increase in the number of carers expecting support when these reforms become law in 2023\.**Barriers to inclusion**In the face of workforce and financial pressures, local authorities are stating they will struggle to support the increased demand for carers assessments.The current traditional paper based approach to carers assessment using paper forms and social care assessors is resource heavy and expensive to administer.Unless a new approach is adopted to the assessment process many councils will be in breach of their legal duties when the reforms come into place in 2023, and carers will remain unsupported.**Carer support**At Bridgit Care our mission is to support the family carer community.We've engaged over 450k carers to date. With Innovate UK support we launched a UK wide carer support platform allowing carers to access self support, get access to NHS advice, local events and services that can help them.This is helping carers anywhere, anytime, with up to 800 carers per week creating their own support plans from all UK regions.**Working with councils on the answer**We have been asked by **Dorset Council** to extend our carer support to include an assessment module.This module will simplify and streamline the assessment process for carers, while also taking a strength based approach, to help carers take action and provide an immediate support plan.Carers will access instant support and authorities will reduce their administration, helping to reduce the impact of the 2021 reforms as they are implemented through 2023\.Once proven with Dorset this module will be available to all 333 councils within the UK to commission.[0]: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/build-back-better-our-plan-for-health-and-social-care

**护理困难时期**在英国，随着需求的增加和预算的减少，我们的社会护理系统比以往任何时候都更加捉襟见肘。系统容量的缺乏给无薪护理人员社区带来了额外的压力，他们为他们的朋友和家人提供急需的日常支持。英国 650 万护理人员社区中的绝大多数都没有得到地方当局的支持。**正在进行的改革**2021 年 9 月 7 日，政府制定了[成人社会护理新计划] 英国的护理改革][0]。这些改革受到那些有护理责任的人的欢迎。他们对地方当局提出了额外的法律要求，要求其向家庭照顾者和被照顾者提供财政和其他支持。当这些改革在 2023 年成为法律时，期望获得支持的照顾者数量将大幅增加\。**包容性障碍**面对劳动力和财政压力，地方当局表示，他们将努力支持对照顾者评估不断增长的需求。目前使用纸质表格和社会照顾评估员进行的传统纸质照顾者评估方法资源繁重，而且 管理费用昂贵。除非在评估过程中采用新方法，否则当 2023 年改革实施时，许多委员会将违反其法律义务，并且护理人员将继续得不到支持。**护理人员支持**在 Bridgit Care，我们的使命是支持家庭护理人员社区。迄今为止，我们已聘用了超过 45 万名护理人员。通过 Innovate UK 支持，我们推出了全英国的护理人员支持平台，使护理人员能够获得自助支持、获得 NHS 建议、当地活动和可以帮助他们的服务。这可以随时随地帮助护理人员，每周有多达 800 名来自英国所有地区的护理人员创建自己的支持计划。**与议会合作解决问题****多塞特郡议会**要求我们扩展我们的护理人员支持，以包括评估模块。该模块将简化 并简化护理人员的评估流程，同时采取基于实力的方法，帮助护理人员采取行动并提供立即的支持计划。护理人员将获得即时支持，当局将减少其管理，有助于减少 2021 年改革的影响，因为改革将在 2023 年实施。一旦在多塞特郡得到验证，该模块将可供英国所有 333 个议会使用。[0]： https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/build-back-better-our-plan-for-health-and-social-care
