Carers UK and Carers Trust have made a joint statement regarding the coronavirus – or COVID-19. This covers an overview of the current advice for people who are providing unpaid care.
It also sets out what we believe services should be planning and preparing, making sure that everyone from Government, to the NHS, to social care understand the role that unpaid carers play in society; how they should be adequately accounted for in planning and supported.
This provides advice for carers, but also highlights carers' concerns and questions.
