Rights as an unpaid carer
For those who provide unpaid care to a family member, neighbour, or friend who couldn't manage alone if this person is in need of your help due to frailty, age, physical illness, mental health condition, or addiction, join us on 18th November at 7pm for a vital online event as part of Carers Rights Day 2024.
This year's theme, Recognising Your Rights, highlights the importance of understanding your entitlements as an Unpaid Carer and knowing where to access support.
This Zoom event will bring together expert speakers to explore fundamental rights that support unpaid Carers including;
- Understanding your right to unpaid Carer's Leave
- Requesting flexible working arrangements
- Asking your GP to identify you as a Carer and why this is important
- Protection against discrimination or harassment
- Requesting a Carer's assessment
- Being involved when the person you care for is discharged from hospital
Don't miss this chance to ensure you're well-informed and fully supported in your caring role.
