What happens after the assessment?

After your assessment, you will be sent a copy of the outcome of your assessment, which sets out how your assessed needs may be met. You are entitled to receive this, so you should ask for a copy if you do not receive it.

You will be given a review date which is usually six months after the date of the assessment. If your circumstances change before your review date, you can ask for an earlier review. The person who carried out the assessment should be told in advance if any part of your care package is likely to change to ensure this is discussed with you before any change is made.

If you disagree with the outcome of your assessment, you can ask for a further discussion of your needs.
