Raising the Profile of Unpaid Carers within Gloucestershire
Carer Aware Professional Information sessions
One of the main focuses of Gloucestershire Carers Hub is to support professionals to become more Carer Aware.
Carer Aware was developed following an idea from an unpaid Carer within Gloucestershire. The Carer suggested a discreet way of identifying someone who is an unpaid Carer would support them within their community and with professionals.
Gloucestershire County Council designed the Carer Aware logo and there are now various ways which Carers can be identified in a discreet manner.
There are various items which are available to unpaid Carers within Gloucestershire, and these include:
- Carer Aware Badge
- Carer Aware Lanyard
- Carer Aware Discount Card
These items are available from us for registered Carers at the Gloucestershire Carers Hub.
Being Carer Aware
Gloucestershire Carers Hub can provide one to one information sessions to increase their knowledge if you come in to contact with unpaid Carers within their job roles or in their personal lives.
These sessions allow you to find out about all of the free services and support which is available to unpaid Carers within the county.
