This area of the website gives carers and families key information about supporting someone who is using our services.
It includes:
- Advice and information for carers (assessments, financial support, carers leads, and getting involved)
- Carers principles and our commitment to carers
- Triangle of care (this initiative promotes the importance of involving carers, alongside service users and staff)
- Carer booklets (these booklets provide information, advice and guidance to carers about the service; their rights to support; information on patient/service user advocacy; local peer support; and guidance to further information such as condition specific organisations, mental health act regulations and so on. Each booklet includes bespoke information for each team, tailored to each carers group, service and location).
