Tomorrow is Carers Rights Day - an annual awareness day designed to help carers understand their rights and ways to get the help and support to which they're entitled. Many charitable organisations and support groups can be very resourceful, but we wonder how easily accessible this help and support is from social care services. How well informed do you feel as a carer in regards to what your rights are? Do you feel like you are adequately supported as an unpaid carer? How easy have you found it to apply for the support that you need? We would love to know your thoughts. Thank you.
