answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/03/2015 answer text <p>My Rt. hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Health has not had discussions with Minsters in the Department for Education (DfE). However, I have been fully engaged with my counterpart at DfE in relation to the provisions in the Care Act 2014 which affect young carers, and the inter-relation with the provisions of the Children and Families Act 2014.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The Care Act falls within the responsibility of the Department of Health and we issued statutory guidance under the Act last October. The DfE was closely involved in the development of the guidance in relation to issues affecting young carers.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The Government recognises that transition into adulthood is an important time when young people and their families are thinking about their goals and aspirations for the future and to ensure that they are not left without care and support. The Care Act, for the first time, places a legal duty on local authorities to assess the needs of young carers as they approach adulthood and that transition assessment and planning must consider how to support young carers to prepare for adulthood and how to raise and fulfil their aspirations.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The Care and Support (Assessment) Regulations 2014 require local authorities when looking at the needs of an individual, to consider the impact of those needs on any young carer involved in the situation and identify whether the tasks they are performing are inappropriate.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>We have also published guidance for local authorities on a ‘whole family approach’ to assessments, which will identify any children who are involved in providing care. Identification of a young carer in the family should result in an offer of a needs assessment for an adult requiring care and support and where it appears that they may have a need for support.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency North Norfolk answering member printed Norman Lamb grouped question UIN 227489 question first answered 17/03/2015 17:23:38 answering member 1439 label Biography information for Norman Lamb
