Strengthen support for unpaid family carers

Strengthen support for unpaid family carers — 8 signatures. Status: rejected.

Petition background

Require the Government to improve recognition, respite, financial protection and practical support for unpaid family carers, including those who work or receive funding for some care.

Additional details

Unpaid family carers provide vital care, often beyond funded hours and without Carer’s Allowance. We want carers recognised and supported before they reach crisis, with meaningful respite, a voice in care decisions, fairer financial support and joined-up services.The clock may say 2 hours. The care may say 24 hours. Who cares for the other 22?
