About this work
Description
This study focused on informal carers, defined as a person who takes primary responsibility in the home for the care of a person who, because of disability or illness, needs almost continuous care. The aims of the project were to enhance developments and promote new initiatives in the voluntary sector in supporting informal carers in specific local authority areas in order to demonstrate the value of these, to provide reports for use in other areas to promote support for informal carers and engage with other developments on a wide front, to monitor outcomes and to identify indicators for the future in terms of support for carers and to exercise the department's management responsibility to the project.
