Professional: Refer A Carer

This is the form for professionals such as Social Workers or Health Professionals to use to refer a carer. If you are a WSCC Adult Social Care Professional and wish to refer a carer for a Statutory Carer Assessment, please do not use this form. Instead, complete an Initial Contact for the carer via Mosaic.

I confirm consent has been gained from the carer (either verbally, by email or in writing) for Carers Support West Sussex to process the information contained on this form and that they are happy to be contacted by their preferred method.
