Last November the Coalition of Carers in Scotland surveyed over 1000 carers across Scotland and found that 51% of the carers had never heard of the Carers ( Scotland) Act. They are repeating the survey this year to see if things have changed, and would really appreciate it if you could take a couple of minutes to complete their quick survey at www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/VHHTLQJ.
The Coalition survey also showed that around two-thirds of carers were unaware of the various rights that they now have under the new legislation. Our session in Milngavie on Thursday 28th November is for you if you want to find out what rights the Carers (Scotland) Act gives you, and how these can help support your health and wellbeing and make your caring role more sustainable.
