Training for carers

Carers Voices training

Equal Partners is offering carers groups the opportunity to take part in training workshops to help them get their message across more effectively. The workshops cover skills such as making your presentations, knowing who to influence and aim to build carers confidence and assertiveness in a friendly supportive environment.

The workshops are free for carers groups

Carers Voices

Carers often have a very clear idea of how local services could be  improved: from getting respite care to making carers’ assessments count...

'You need to find the right people to make a difference otherwise you can waste a lot of time and energy talking to people who can't change anything '
