Policy, guidance and research
Access policy, guidance and research resources of relevance to improving outcomes for carers and their families.
New to caring
An essential guide by CarersUK to help those who have recently become a carer.
New to caring contains advice from experienced carers and covers all the basics that one needs to know about the financial, practical and emotional aspects of caring – and the range of help available.
Care and support
Last year, the Care and Support Green Paper, the Big Care Debate consultation and the Government’s plan for free personal care put care and support at the top of the public and political agenda.
But this is only a starting point on the long road towards creating a National Care Service for all adults in England that is fair, easy to understand and makes it easier to access services.
