Who is the Carers Information Service for?
Carers of any age - a carer is someone who spends a significant proportion of their time providing unpaid support to a family member, partner or friend who is ill, frail, disabled or has mental health or substance misuse problems.
What is the Carers Information Service?
The role of the Carers Information Service is to provide a ‘one-stop shop’ service for information and advice for carers. It is a ‘signposting’ service for carers, helping people to identify which services & support will be most useful for them, and advising on how to go about accessing it. The Carers Information Service will help carers to make sense of what can be a confusing picture of provision.
