Practical step-by-step guide

Build a practical family and carer plan

A practical planning guide: questions to ask and documents to organise. Follow the linked canonical service records for sources, criteria and current application routes.

Practical next steps

  1. Write down the tasks that need support, when they occur and who currently does them.
  2. Ask the care team which tasks require a trained professional or a formal assessment.
  3. Include the person’s own priorities, communication preferences and consent in the plan.
  4. Check backup arrangements when a family carer is ill, working or needs a break.
  5. Ask about carer assistance, assessed home support, respite and alarm services separately.
  6. Keep key provider contacts somewhere the person and agreed supporters can access.
  7. Ask the clinical team what to do if needs change or urgent concerns arise.
  8. Set a date to review the plan, equipment and carer capacity.
