Carers often don’t recognise the label ‘carer‘ ; we primarily define ourselves in terms of the relationships we have, for example the partner or child of a person with an illness or disability. Think carer when you come into contact with someone with an illness or disability. Ask if there is someone helping to look after them. Often carers will assume that there is no support for them and would welcome signposting to Caring for Carers.

We support people and
organisations that work with carers in Plymouth. And are able to provide a
range of training and support on carer’s issues and run workshops on
interactions with carers. Areas we cover:
·
Who is a carer and what the issues are
·
What services and support are available
locally
·
How you can support carers
·
Treating carers as partners in care and
what this means
We can undertake
presentations at staff meetings and if certain staff members have a key role in
working with carers we can arrange to meet with them 1:1 to discuss the
opportunities and resources available.
We have also developed a Carer
Awareness PowerPoint Presentation for professionals to download and use with their teams.
You can download a pdf version of the presentation here.
