Resources: Carers UK Self-Advocacy Toolkit: Workers’ resources

Many paid staff in carers centres, condition specific organisations and statutory bodies support carers negotiating with ‘the system’.

However, competing demands and conflicts of interest can limit the scope of how much a paid worker can represent a carer.

With these issues in mind, Carers UK have developed this worker’s resource to accompany the Carers Self-advocacy Toolkit; so that workers can help carers get their own voices heard more effectively via one to one support or through group training.
