Carers play a vital role in meeting the needs of others, but they themselves need support in carrying out their valuable work. This practical, step-by-step guide helps local carer groups and self-help networks carry out a quick self-check of how far they are meeting the government's standards in ensuring carers can access information, have regular breaks, receive emotional support and health care, and be heard. It could also be used by local authorities as part of a more formal and comprehensive organisational ‘health check’.
