Parent Carers
Support available to help you
Parent carers have told us that they get a lot of support and information from other parent carers.
There are many groups like this available on social media. Most of them are not provided by the council but run by outside providers.
Useful links
Worcestershire Association of Carers (WAC) are a Worcestershire Charity offering information, advice and support to carers.
The Worcestershire Parent and Carers' Community (WPCC) is a local charity that supports families across the county, all of whom have a child with a disability or an additional need.
An assessment of parent carer needs can give you a chance to tell social services about the things that could make looking after your child easier for you. This may result in getting services or direct payments to help meet your assessed needs.
Further information and resources to help you as a carer can be found on our getting support as a carer page.
