IoD Student Support: Carers Week - 5th of June to the 11th of June 2023

CARERS WEEK – 5^th of June to the 11^th of June 2023

There are many carers that are unaware that they are a carer and so they are not aware of the support that they can receive or aware of the help that they can get.

I wanted to draw your attention to a poster I've created which highlights that there are different types of carers, what kind of carers there are and the different type of support for those carers.

Below you will find a few of the different types of carers that there are and the different ways that those different carers can be supported.   

ADOPTIVE CARE :

· Places to get support –

Adoption support fund (ASF) - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)
