Contents:

  • Identification of carers
  • Information, advice and support for carers
  • Carers wellbeing assessment

We could not have conducted this research without the support of North Tyneside Carers’ Centre, Action for Blind People, Alzheimer’s Society, Age UK, Headway, Learning disability Reference Group, NTDF and PROPS. The Carers’ Centre and North Tyneside Council have supported us in developing these suggested actions.
