Am I a Carer?

Not sure if you’re a Carer? Take this quick quiz to find out. It only takes a couple of minutes and can help you understand whether the support you give to someone counts as a caring role.

Many people provide regular help to a friend, neighbour or family member without realising that they are Carers.

Please note: this quiz is for guidance only and does not replace a formal Carer’s assessment.

1. Do you help someone regularly because of illness, disability, mental health, or age?




2. Is this support unpaid?



3. Would the person struggle without your help?




4. Is this ongoing rather than one-off help?



5. Are you 18 or older?
