Carers Rights Day 2024
Published
Carers Rights Day is an annual event held every November; Gloucestershire Carers Hub share information about day and events taking place across the county.
On Thursday 21st November 2024, unpaid Carers will come together to raise awareness of the rights and needs of unpaid Carers.
As an unpaid Carer, you are providing a vital service to the individual who you support, but you may be doing so at a cost to your own physical and mental health, as well as your own finances and employment.
Carers Rights Day is an opportunity to remind you of your rights and to raise awareness of support available.
Here are some of your rights as a Carer:
- The right to a Carer’s Assessment
- The right to engage in employment, education, training and leisure
- The right to choose whether or not to be a Carer
- The right to self-determine willingness and ability to care
- The right to be supported to identify which of the cared-for’s needs you might be willing and able to support
- The right for the Carer’s views to be considered by Social Services when organising provision for the cared-for person
On Carers Rights Day, take some time to reflect on your own needs and to make sure that you are getting the support that you need. You could share your reflections on our social media channels or by emailing bookings@peopleplus.co.uk
