Partnership Working

As well as directly supporting Carers we also offer information and guidance to Health & Social Care Professionals and Employers on how to provide the best quality support to the carers that they work with or employ. We work closely with GP practices and other Health & Social Care professionals to help identify carers and have in place a simple and confidential referral system.  Our holistic approach aims to provide both professionals and carers with access to an extensive network of knowledge and services that will best meet their needs.

Carers Trust

As members of Carers Trust we have access to a wide range of up to date resources and information for professionals who work with unpaid carers. In addition, Carers Trust have a very user-friendly website that aims to offer an easy way to search for, access and share information, guidance and resources to support professionals in identifying and supporting carers through their work. www.carers.org

ACHIEVING MORE TOGETHER

We believe that we can achieve more for carers by working with individuals, the private sector, other voluntary organisations and health and social care providers and we are always looking for new people and organisations to work with.  

Our approach to working with others is;

  • To begin discussions with ‘How can we help you?’ rather than ‘We need your help to do ‘X, Y or Z’
  • Together, we will draw up a plan of action including what we will do, what you will do and how we will know if it’s working for both of us
  • We do what we say we will do. We do not over promise

If you’ve got an idea or are not sure if or how we could work together please get in touch for a chat.

We’d love to hear from you!
