Involving and consulting carers: A New Guide

Carers Northern Ireland

Free

Carers Northern Ireland Carers Voices project has produced a new updated guide, full of tips and guidance on the best ways of involving carers in the planning, monitoring, development and evaluation of public services that affect their lives.

Who should read this guide?

This short punchy guide is aimed at:

• carers who want to be more confident and proactive in their dealings with the people who make decisions about or provide services;
• carers groups and other voluntary agencies that want to support and empower carers;
• public services workers in health, social services, housing, education and social security and politicians who want to improve their practice by being more open to carers' needs and to their experiences and expertise;
• planners who want to make sure they develop the services people really need and target those services more effectively.
