Guides – UK
Carers UK produces a Carers Rights Guide each year outlining carers’ essential rights and advising on what financial and practical help is available. They produce a separate version for England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
Each guide covers:
- Benefits: an overview of which benefits you or the person you can for may be entitled to and information about how to get a benefits check.
- Other financial help: including help with council tax, fuel costs, pensions and health costs.
- Practical help: including community care assessment, carer’s assessment and direct payments.
- Technology: information about health and care technology that could make life easier for you and the person you care for.
- Your workplace: your rights at work, from flexible working and parental leave to protection from discrimination.
- Other help: how to find other help nationally and in your local community.
