Carers Rights Day 2022: Caring Costs

Thursday 24th November   

This year’s theme, for Carers Rights Day was Caring costs. Examples of the costs of caring are listed below– 

• The cost to a carers’ wellbeing and ability to access health services
• The financial cost associated with looking after someone
• The cost of a career or employment options
• Cost of the quality of relationships
• Current cost of living crisis

It is important if you have recently become a carer or have been for many years understand their rights to access the support that is available to them as soon as they need it.

We want to empower carers with information and support, so they feel confident to ask what they need and can challenge when their rights are not being met.
