Many policies relating to support for carers exist, but there is often a gap between policy and practice. This publication identifies how such contradictions affect carers, and finds that local joint work has had varying levels of success in improving outcomes. It also recommends key factors that national and local policy-makers should consider when drawing up policies and guidelines.
