Carers Legislation - Consultation on Proposals - January 2014: Easy Read

Information and Advice

It is very important that carers and young carers should have access to the best information and advice. This will let them make the best decisions about their support needs.

Carers tell us that things would be better for them if they got the right information at the right time.

Carers need to be given information and advice that they can understand.
