Are You Carer Aware?
Many people do not recognise themselves as a carer, for them
they are simply helping a family member, friend or neighbour. In
effect they are undertaking tasks that they consider to be part of
their relationship with that person. Worcestershire County Council
are aware that many carer's remain hidden from society and this
means that they do not access the advice and guidance they need to
support them in their caring role.
The Carers Unit would encourage everyone to access
this training tool [link below] whether you are a carer
or member of the public. It will explain who is a carer, their
legal rights and what services are available in Worcestershire to
support them.
If you aren't a carer now you could be in the
future!
If you are a professional worker employed by Worcestershire
County Council and would like this course to count towards your
induction and/or professional development then please access the
e-learning
portal site.
