Some carer-specific organisations have a special, custom version of Charitylog. This page is not about the carer version (for information on this, see Charitylog: Carer Version). This page deals with Carer Assignments, which is a simple way of recording a carer/cared for relationship for people on a standard Charitylog system.

Assigning Carers

Carers can be managed on two levels in Charitylog and both may be used at the same time:

  • Simple carer assignments. This involves adding carers (or in turn volunteers, clients etc. into carers) and simply assigning them to clients. Other basic details such as start and end dates, the number of hours of care provided and the relationship between the two parties may also be recorded. They may be paid care workers or informal carers such as somebody caring for their partner. This is covered in this guide.
  • If you need to be able to set up projects involving care workers which deliver one or more services, and you need to make up care plans for clients and record the work done on an on-going basis, you probably need the Support Worker module. If you do not have this on your system, please call Charitylog to discuss an upgrade.
