Furness Carers

Parent Carers care for their children who are ill or have a disability.  Parent Carers are most likely to be caring the longest. The responsibilities may be even greater in a situation where the Carer is a sole parent, who has more than one person to care for. 

We provide the same high level of support for Parent Carers as we do to all our Carers, including:

• Support that is; face to face, peer, group and drop-in, telephone & online based support.
• Information & advice on caring
• Advice and support on contingency planning
• Referral &signposting to support services; coordinated joint-working
• Peer support groups, befriending, Carers cafés & activities
• Employment & rights, employability & support
• Emotional support, planning ahead and bereavement support
