roles are the same but most carers will experience similar issues
and need similar support. In some caring situations, it is best to

information.
If you speak little or no English, you can still
call us on 0800 389 2896 and the adviser will be able to arrange
for an interpreter to join you both on the telephone to discuss
your needs.
