Social Care Training
This training will support social workers to enhance their interactions with unpaid carers to improve their mutual relationships. Social workers are a vital source of support for unpaid carers and the vulnerable people they look after. Attendees will learn about good practice principles and practical tips which they can use in their work to increase the likelihood of mutually supportive, open and positive relationships between social workers and the unpaid carers they work with.
This training will count toward Social Workers Continuing Professional Development (CPD). An accredited digital badge will be provided for records at after you have completed this training.
*We now provide a physical badge alongside the digital badge.
All training sessions are 1.5 hours long.
Healthcare Training
Carers’ Rights Training for healthcare professionals: Invitation to free webinar (1 hr)
Sign up for our free webinars:
Thursday 29 September 10-11am (TEAMS)
Tuesday 25 October 9-10am (ZOOM)
Healthcare professionals have told us that they are not always confident about identifying who is and isn’t included in the definition of an unpaid carer, what kinds of care are included in the definition, what rights carers have, what support is available and how to find it.
We have created some short animations that explain about carers’ rights and where you can find out more about the support available to carers. There are also some handouts that you can keep as a handy reminder after watching the animation or print out for your office or noticeboard (there are full colour plus black & white versions for easy printing).
You can find the animations and handouts here:
