Carers' Week
It's carers' week - see a great set of links on our new carers' page on the web-site here and a reminder of the services we provide for carers...
Family support: working closely with carers and family members to provide the best support for clients
Advocacy: supporting carers by representing their interests
Breaks for carers: engaging a person being cared for in an activity so that carers can take a break
Accessible information and advice: providing carers with the latest news and information relevant to them
Mutual support: enabling carers to support each other through carers’ groups
Giving carers a voice: especially in the planning of local services
Awareness raising: highlighting carers’ rights, such as the right to have a needs assessment
