For Carers

Carers' Charter

We greatly value the important work that carers of service users provide. We want to work in partnership with you to help you carry out your role. We also recognise that, on occasions, you also need support and have a statutory right to an assessment of your own needs. That’s why we’ve launched our Carers Charter – setting out the commitments we are making to support you. It also has information on the role of carer development support workers and how you can get more involved in the work of our NHS Foundation Trust.
