Carers Support Groups and Development Workers

Carers Development Workers are based locally around the County. The posts are managed by, and based within, local voluntary organisation offices, and are funded by Social Care Services through the Carers Special Grant. The key aims of the service are:
  • To provide a local source of information and advice for carers, carers groups and other local agencies that work with carers.
  • To reduce the risk of carers becoming isolated.
  • To sign post carers to appropriate services.
  • To work with local agencies to provide up to date resource material and information relevant to local carers.
  • To share ideas and information to achieve a consistent approach to supporting carers.
For more information please contact your local Carers Development Worker:-
