Thank you for referring carers for support
Referring an unpaid carer on to Action for Carers will ensure they get the help and support they need.
To refer an unpaid carer of any age (5 years and upwards) please complete this form:
(Please note, GPs and other health professionals previously used a form called The Carer’s Prescription. This form has now been retired, and all Surrey professionals should now use the above Action for Carers referral form.)
Carers are also welcome to register themselves directly. Children above 13, parent/guardians of young carers, and adult carers can all register themselves – carer registration form.
Carer Wellbeing Break Payments
Many carers qualify for Surrey’s £300 Carer Wellbeing Break Payment.
Carers can apply themslves, or you you can apply on their behalf. Apply online through Surrey County Council, call 0300 200 1005, or text (SMS) 07527 182 861 (for the deaf or hard of hearing).
Carers Assessments
A reminder that Action for Carers do not carry out Carer Assessments. This is done by SCC.
Carers who wish to have a Carer’s Assessment, should apply via this Surrey County Council page.
Action for Carers can advise and assist carers, as required.
Thank you for your support of Surrey’s unpaid carers.
