Carer Aware Training for healthcare professionals

Introduction to Carer Aware Training

Healthcare professionals have told us that they are not always confident about identifying who is and isn’t included in the definition of an unpaid carer, what kinds of care are included in the definition, what rights carers have, what support is available and how to find it.

Carer Aware training supports healthcare professionals to identify and communicate with unpaid carers, improving their knowledge and understanding of unpaid carers’ rights and the essential role they play in supporting the NHS.

Social Care Training

This training will support social workers to enhance their interactions with unpaid carers to improve their mutual relationships. Social workers are a vital source of support for unpaid carers and the vulnerable people they look after. Attendees will learn about good practice principles and practical tips which they can use in their work to increase the likelihood of mutually supportive, open and positive relationships between social workers and the unpaid carers they work with. 
 
This training will count toward Social Workers Continuing Professional Development (CPD). An accredited digital badge will be provided for records at after you have completed this training. 
 
*We now provide a physical badge alongside the digital badge. 
 
All training sessions are 1.5 hours long.

We have created some short animations and information sheets that explain about carers’ rights and where you can find out more about the support available to carers.
