Employment, Education, and Training

“I work in the creative arts, although I am so limited in my ability to work at the moment because of the extent of my caring role, that I now view work as a respite where once it was a source of stress!”

What matters to carers:

• Better support within workplaces for carers and understanding of their responsibilities.
• Employment that is flexible around caring responsibilities.
• Training on how to use technology to reduce digital exclusion for carers.
• Alternative care provided which will enable carers to take up employment.
• Access to education and training to support personal and career development.
• Training and awareness raising deployed across all of health and social care. Continuity so only have to tell a story once.
