Menu of Questions for Carers Supporting People with Mental Health Problems
A set of suggested questions for carers to think about when meeting with members of mental health teams, either in-patient or community teams.
Identification of Carers in GP Practices
One of the main obstacles to carers getting the right support is identification – both self-identification and identification by health professionals. This document highlights some of the good practice that has been developed by Carers Trust Network Partners. We hope it will encourage GP practices to look at the ways they identify carers, and enable carers to get the support they need.
Protecting Young Carers from Bullying
This guide is aimed at all professionals who work with young people and are therefore likely to come across young carers. It aims to raise the awareness and understanding of the relationship between being a young carer and bullying, in order that proactive steps can be taken to help prevent young carers from being bullied.
