Who is a carer<br />
Consider the people you encounter in your daily<br />
life? Are any of them carers? Do they provide<br />
unpaid care to a friend, neighbour, or family<br />
member who couldn’t manage alone?<br />
Is this person in need of help due to frailty, age,<br />
physical illness, mental health condition, or<br />
addiction?<br />
If you encounter anyone who answers yes to<br />
either, or both, of the questions above, it is<br />
extremely likely that they will be classed as a<br />
carer.<br />
While being a carer doesn’t define you, it may<br />
mean that they have important legal rights<br />
including the right to certain types of financial<br />
support, practical help, assistance technology and<br />
rights in the workplace.<br />
In this exercise type a list of people you know<br />
who you think should be identified as carers.
