Unpaid Carers: Rights & Carer’s Assessments

Millions of people look after a family member or friend without being paid. This course explains who counts as a carer, the right to a carer’s assessment, the support and benefits that may be available, Carer’s Leave and other workplace rights, and how professionals can identify and support carers – with differences across the UK nations.

This course provides general awareness only. It does not replace clinical assessment, training from a qualified professional, or your organisation’s policies and procedures, and it is not an accredited qualification. If someone is seriously unwell, call 999. This course is not legal or benefits advice.
