Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order provides that section 1 of the Carers (Recognition and Services) Act 1995 (“the Act”) applies to the Isles of Scilly as if the Council of the Isles of Scilly were a local authority for the purposes of that section.
The Act provides that, where a local authority are to decide whether the needs of a person call for the provision of community care services and a carer so requests, the local authority must assess that carer’s ability to provide and to continue to provide care to that person and shall take the results of that assessment into account when making their decision. For these purposes a carer is a person who provides or intends to provide a substantial amount of care to the person on a regular basis but not pursuant to a contract nor as a volunteer for a voluntary organisation.
