<div data-wrapper="true" style="font-size: 12px; font-family: "Segoe UI", "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif"> <p>The Home Office will assess your needs when completing your screening interview. It may decide that you are not able to look after yourself. This may be because you have a serious illness, physical disability, learning disability, mental health problems or frailty because of old age. If one of these applies, then you may be referred to social services after screening for them to complete a Community Care Assessment. If you have a clear and immediate care need, it is likely that the local authority will have a responsibility to provide you with support. This may include accommodation and financial support.</p> <p>If you need additional support but do not have a clear and immediate care need, a Community Care Assessment will be completed when you are dispersed to your longterm accommodation. The assessment will decide whether you require any additional support (e.g. equipment).</p> <p>If there is a child in your household with a clear care need (for example, a severe disability or serious illness), it will be necessary for the local authority to ensure that the appropriate level of care is provided, while you are going through the asylum process. A referral will need to be made to child services to ensure that the correct support is provided.</p> <p>If you need advice and guidance to do this, please contact us on 0808 8010 503.</p> </div>
