A carer is anyone who cares, unpaid, for a friend or family member who due to illness, disability, a mental health problem or an addiction cannot cope without their support [1].

The system has the option to be configured in two ways when it comes to Carers and Cared Fors (The cared for person).

  • Carer - The carer is the main service users who receives the services offered by your organisation. This system is preconfigured with Clients and Cared Fors.
  • Standard - The carer relationship is not relevant or your organisation mainly supports the dependent. This system is preconfigured with Clients and Carers.

The Carer Configuration

With the Carer configuration there is a tab on the Client record to add Cared Fors and a the reverse available on the dependent record. It is also normal to use the service user group field on the dependent which is used for reporting. In reverse it would be typical to use the Status Field on the client record (used for Young Carers, Young Ault Carers, Adult Carers & Ex Carers).



The Dependent Record can be fully customisable like other records (see Organisations and People for full details]]).
