Carers Rights Day…

Guest blog from maz carer

Hi guys, Carers Rights day is almost upon us again, it’s on Friday!

I guess, it’s the right time to look back and see if, for Carers, anything has really changed!
Are we still fighting the same fight and struggling on alone or have we Carers gotten a better deal?
I really feel, that kinda depends on where you live and if your local Authority has embraced SDS (Self Directed Support) or not!

CARERS were unable to attend an event aimed at them for Carers Rights Day

Kirklees Council departments told to talk to each other as carers miss out on Carers Day event due to closure of day care centre

CARERS were unable to attend an event aimed at them – because a council day care centre closed for training on the same day.

And it’s prompted one Huddersfield carer to question whether council departments speak to each other.

The woman, who asked not to be named, said she and many other carers were missing out on getting vital information because there was nowhere to take the people they cared for.
