A carer is someone who cares, unpaid, for a friend or family member who,  due to illness, disability, a mental health problem or addiction cannot cope without their support.

Your Rights as a Carer

• As a carer, you have certain basic rights;
• A carer's assessment
• Request flexible working from your employer
• Receive financial support through Carer's Allowance

You may also;
