Carers Awareness Training

Helping organisations recognise and support unpaid carers 

​

Across Camden, thousands of people are providing unpaid care to a family member, friend or neighbour who couldn’t manage without their support. Many people don’t recognise themselves as a carer and even fewer know about their rights and the support available to them.  

​

Our free Carer Awareness Training helps organisations recognise and better support carers, improving wellbeing, access to services and outcomes for the people they care for.  

​

​

What the training covers:  

  • Understanding unpaid care: who carers are, signs someone is caring, and the impact of caring on health and wellbeing 

  • Carers’ rights: a clear overview of the support carers are legally entitled to 

  • Barriers to support: why carers may not engage with services and how to use inclusive, culturally sensitive approaches 

  • Our services: an overview of the full range of Camden Carers services 

  • How to identify and support carers: practical ways to recognise carers early and make effective referrals 

​

Sessions are: 

  • interactive 

  • tailored to your needs  

  • delivered in person or online 

  • range from 15 mins to 1 hour 

​

We offer tailored sessions for:  

  • Health professionals including GPs, hospital and community teams; includes identifying carers in clinical environments, streamlining referrals, and using carer friendly communications 
     

  • Voluntary and community sector organisations; includes recognising carers in community settings and connecting them with local, culturally appropriate support 
     

  • Employers and workplaces; includes understanding carers in the workforce and developing carer-friendly practices 

 

What participants say:
