Carers Assessment Support

** 护理困难时期 ** 随着需求的增加和预算的减少，整个英国的社会护理系统比以往任何时候都更加紧张。该系统的能力不足给无薪护理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650万护理社区中的绝大多数都没有得到当地政府的支持。**改革进行中 ** 2021年9月7日，英国政府公布了[英格兰成人社会护理改革新计划][0]。这些改革受到那些有照顾责任的人的欢迎。它们对地方当局提出了额外的法律的要求，要求其向家庭照料者和被照料者提供财政和其他支持。当这些改革在2023年成为法律时，期望获得支持的照料者人数将大幅增加。** ** 面对劳动力和财政压力，地方当局表示，他们将努力支持对护理人员评估需求的增长。目前使用纸质表格和社会护理评估员进行护理人员评估的传统纸质方法资源繁重，管理成本高昂。除非采用新的评估方法，否则许多委员会将违反其法律的职责，改革将于2023年实施，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，我们已经聘用了超过45万名护理人员。在Innovate UK的支持下，我们推出了一个英国范围内的护理人员支持平台，让护理人员可以获得自我支持，获得NHS建议，当地活动和服务，可以帮助他们。这是帮助护理人员随时随地，每周多达800名护理人员创建他们自己的支持计划，来自英国所有地区。** ** 多塞特郡理事会 ** 要求我们将护理人员支持扩展到评估模块。该模块将简化和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即时支持计划。护理人员将获得即时支持，当局将减少他们的管理，帮助减少2021年改革的影响，因为它们是通过2023年实施的。一旦与多塞特证明这个模块将提供给英国境内的所有333个议会委托。[0]：https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/build-back-better-our-plan-for-health-and-social-care网站

**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
