SCIE Practice Guide 5: Implementing The Carers (Equal Opportunities) Act 2004

SCIE aims to improve the experience of people who use social care by developing and promoting knowledge about good practice. Using knowledge gathered from diverse sources and a broad range of people and organisations, we develop resources that we share freely, supporting those working in social care and empowering service users. At the request of the Department of Health, we have produced this practice guide to the 2004 Act. It is easy to use and translates what is known from research and policy into recommendations for practice (practice points) and gives examples (ideas from practice). The guide is designed to answer any questions on the implementation of the Act, as well as provide food for thought.
