Stands for
CAE — The statutory threshold for Local Authority provision of adult care and support.
How it works in KallosSim
- In practice language — The statutory threshold for Local Authority provision of adult care and support.
- What it means — The Care Act 2014 requires Local Authorities to assess any adult appearing to have care and support needs (s.9). Following assessment, the LA applies the national eligibility threshold to determine whether needs must be met. Eligible needs must relate to a physical or mental impairment or illness; result in inability to achieve two or more of ten specified outcomes; and this must be or is likely to be a significant impact on wellbeing. The wellbeing principle (s.1) must underpin the entire assessment — it covers personal dignity, physical and mental health, emotional wellbeing, participation in work/education, social and economic wellbeing, and protection from abuse.
