Read an brief overview of the whole research project about Carers, Employment and Services.
Carers, employment and services
The Carers, Employment and Services (CES) study conducted in 2006-7 at the University of Leeds, was commissioned by Carers UK, lead partner in the Action for Carers and Employment partnership.
The findings are based on 1,909 responses to a national survey targeting carers of working age, and 134 face-to-face interviews with carers aged 25-64 living in ten selected localities in England, Wales and Scotland.
The detailed policy implications of the evidence presented in the reports, and a full set of recommendations, are presented in CES Report 6 Carers, Employment and Services: time for a new social contract? There we stress the need for radical new thinking, and significant policy change, to enable carers to integrate their caring roles with their everyday lives, without compromising their health, finances, jobs or careers.
