I don't know if this will assure carers in the south west (and I had a little bit of involvement because I brought the website ptcb.org.uk not personally but on behalf of BCC)

No negatives from me Bexx. Anything which supports carers and raises the issue of their selfless work is great in my book.............and well done Bristol council ! x

Yes, I noticed that Bexx. I have to say, three years ago, I was worried about my (ex) mother in law going into residential care after a couple of nasty falls (she's 95). But her carers are wonderful (she calls them her 'angels').

It's like they've been trained to be the best they can possibly be, with nothing (however slight) too much trouble............ x
