Planning your support as a Carer

Making sure you receive all the support you need

An Adult Carer Support Plan is an important way of identifying your needs as an unpaid Carer. It is an opportunity to speak to a Carer Link Worker about your caring role and how it affects your life, and your aspirations for the future. Your conversation around the caring role may include:

    • The caring role
    • Your health & wellbeing
    • Property/housing
    • Finances/benefits
    • Employment/training
    • Planning for the future
    • Activities/breaks
  • Other topics that affect you

You can make an appointment to talk by telephone, Zoom or NHS Near Me. We talk about how we can make sure you are as informed and supported as you want to be. We help you to find out if you are receiving everything you are entitled to, and support you as a Carer.

To make an appointment to talk about an Adult Carer Support Plan, please call the Carer Support Line on 01463 723560 or email carers@connectingcarers.org.uk.
