Working carers are all too often hidden in plain sight, balancing their caring responsibilities and their jobs with little to no recognition or support. In the UK, there are over three million people in employment who also have caring responsibilities. Many carers are reluctant to discuss their caring role with their employer because they feel that it might cause them to be viewed less favourably, and as a result are unable to access the help and support that they need. By supporting working carers, organisations can attract and retain staff, as well as reduce stress, sick leave and absenteeism whilst improving the lives of those carers and the people they care for.<\/p>
This course is designed to create an awareness about working carers, the different types of care that they provide and the challenges that they face in their work and at home. It combines subject matter expert and lived experience interviews with dramas, and explores best practice strategies and that organisations can adopt to create a carer friendly environment.<\/p>","Duration":"00:45","PresentersBio":"This course was written and designed by the VinciWorks Group with input and feedback from leading experts in the field.","ActivityType":"11","CourseDescription":"
