Children and Families Act 2014

Section 97: Parent carers

409.This section consolidates into Part 3 of the Children Act 1989 existing legislation, in particular the Carers and Disabled Children Act 2000, which gives individuals with parental responsibility for a disabled child the right to an assessment of their needs by a local authority. This consolidation simplifies the legislation relating to parent carers of disabled children, making rights and duties clearer to both parent and practitioners. It removes the requirement for such carers to be providing “a substantial amount of care on a regular basis” in order to be assessed, and requires local authorities to assess on the appearance of need, as well as on request.

410.This section requires local authorities explicitly to have regard to the well-being of parent carers in undertaking an assessment of their needs. The definition of well-being will be the same as in Part 1 of the Care Act 2014 (subject to Parliamentary approval of the Care Act).

411.This section enables the Secretary of State to make regulations making provision about the carrying out of a parent carer’s needs assessment. Those regulations may, in particular, specify matters to which a local authority is to have regard or is to determine in carrying out the assessment, the manner in which an assessment is to be carried out and the form that assessment is to take.

Nodiadau Esboniadol

Testun a grëwyd gan yr adran o’r llywodraeth oedd yn gyfrifol am destun y Ddeddf i esbonio beth mae’r Ddeddf yn ceisio ei wneud ac i wneud y Ddeddf yn hygyrch i ddarllenwyr nad oes ganddynt gymhwyster cyfreithiol. Cyflwynwyd Nodiadau Esboniadol ym 1999 ac maent yn cyd-fynd â phob Deddf Gyhoeddus ac eithrio Deddfau Adfeddiannu, Cronfa Gyfunol, Cyllid a Chyfnerthiad.

Asesiadau Effaith

Impact Assessments generally accompany all UK Government interventions of a regulatory nature that affect the private sector, civil society organisations and public services. They apply regardless of whether the regulation originates from a domestic or international source and can accompany primary (Acts etc) and secondary legislation (SIs). An Impact Assessment allows those with an interest in the policy area to understand:

  • Why the government is proposing to intervene;
  • The main options the government is considering, and which one is preferred;
  • How and to what extent new policies may impact on them; and,
  • The estimated costs and benefits of proposed measures.
