The Care and Support (Children’s Carers) Regulations 2015

Section 62(1) of the Care Act 2014 (“the Act”) provides a power for local authorities in England to meet the support needs of the carer of a child in circumstances where the authority has carried out an assessment of the carer’s needs under section 60 in advance of the child becoming 18. These Regulations make provision in connection with the exercise of that power.
