Policy

Carers speaks with authority on caring, because we are the voice of carers. Carers seeks to improve recognition and support for carers, through informing and creating dialogue with policy makers and professionals working with carers.

One way Carers UK tries to change things for carers is by informing and influencing the policy agenda of government and public bodies. We do this in various ways :

• we produce research
• we write briefings for politicians about how legislation will affect carers
• we repsond to government consultations
• we collect good practice and work with local councils about what works
