Carers Champion Training - Support and advice

Are you aware there are an estimated 13.6 million unpaid carers in the UK today? 26% of the UK adult population.

There has never been a more important time to ‘think carer’. Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, carers have had to provide more care in these challenging times, often without the usual support from friends and family and local services.

In Hull we are thinking carers, and our colleagues in the Carers Information and Support Service have created an online training Carers Champion Training session. It is to enable us to think carer, recognise unpaid carers and refer a carer for support.

To move this forward, we need your support to identify Carers Champions to undertake the Carers Champion Training session.

By joining a network of Carers Champions, you and your teams are able to help carers access the right support to improve their wellbeing and those who they are caring for.
