Utilised within the SALT collection this classification is used to report the circumstances of the assessment of the carers needs. Here the carer was assessed jointly with the cared-for person. The level of client involvement will vary, case by case and between councils. Nevertheless, if the cared-for person is known, linked to the carer on the client database and was involved in a significant way in the assessment / review of the carer, this should be included under this classification.
