Information and Advice
Carers UK provides high quality advice and information to carers and the professionals who support carers.
We provide free and confidential information and advice on:
- carers' benefits
- carers employment rights
- carers assessments
- the services available for carers, and how to complain effectively and challenge decisions
Carers Rights Day
Every December Carers UK holds Carers Rights Day to make sure carers understand about their entitlements to benefits and how to get help.
In 2008 over 1000 organisations across the UK held events to tell thousands of carers about their rights. 30,000 carers benefited from Carers UK’s advice and information guides. Carers UK appeared on national TV and radio to promote carers' rights and discuss the findings of our research report "Carers in Crisis" - which analysed responses to a survey on carers' finances in the economic downturn.
