A Fulfilled Life (AFL) - carers for people with learning disabilities briefing sessions (pdf, 34kb)
We are holding a second round of briefing meetings for all carers in February and March in various locations around the County. This is to provide you with an opportunity to hear the latest developments in relation to the Learning Disability Strategy ‘A Fulfilled Life’ and for you to put forward any questions that you may have.
Guideposts
Guideposts offers free, confidential and independent information and advice, emotional support, advocacy and practical help to carers in Warwickshire.
Carers assessments
If you ask us for help we will need to find out more about your needs or problems and how they are affecting your day-to-day life. This is called an assessment.
Employment and finance
Information and advice on being a carer while working.
Breaks for carers
Many carers rate the opportunity to have a break from their caring role as one of the most important things to them, as it provides an opportunity to rest, take part in activities that they wouldn’t normally be able to whilst having peace of mind that the person they care for is being looked after. You can search for services in your area using our online Warwickshire directory.
Young carers
Information about the young carers project.
Concessions for carers
We want you to get the best out of your break. If you’re not sure what you want to do, or what you can afford to do, then you might want to check out the promotions and offers for carers in Warwickshire on this page. Some of the offers are for carers to enjoy by themselves, others can be enjoyed with the person you care for.
