| Annotation | The Care Bill (2013) proposes that carers in England will have a right to an assessment by local authorities based on the appearance of need. This is a discussion document based on a conference held on 10th October 2013. It is also a teaching aid based on three scenarios discussed in workshops at the conference, which are also suited for use in training and development in the workplace. The scenarios are on these themes: culture, context and capability; capacity, collusion and choice; and conflict, confidentiality and crisis. The document was produced with supported by the Wellcome Trust and Dying Matters, in partnership with the Carers Trust, Marie Curie Cancer Care, Help the Hospices, Macmillan Cancer Support, and Sue Ryder.
