How Can the Carers Support Team Support You?

The Carer Support Team offers a range of support for carers of all ages living in Wolverhampton.

The Carer Support Team can support you in your caring role by offering the following:

  • Practical information, advice and guidance
  • Carer's Assessment
  • Benefits advice
  • Signposting
  • Emotional support
  • Carers Emergency Card
  • Carer training
  • Carers Group at Wednesfield Library
  • Information about Breaks for Carers
  • Short break caravans

What is a Carer's Assessment?

This is an opportunity for you as a Carer to talk about your caring role and the impact it has on your life. You will then be able to work through a plan to support you in your caring role.

Benefits Advice

As a Carer, there may be benefits, such as Carers Allowance to which you are entitled. The person you care for may also be entitled to benefits that you may not be aware of. During your carer's assessment, you will be offered advice and support about the benefits you may be able to claim. You should always get advice when putting in claims as sometimes claiming certain benefits can have an impact on the benefits of the person you care for. For more information please contact the Carer Support Team.

Carer's Emergency Card

Carers are offered an emergency card once they have had a Carer's Assessment so that if the Carer was in an Accident or emergency, the card would identify them as a Carer and a contingency plan can be put into place.

All Age Carer Strategy

An All Age Carer Strategy has been developed and is available, along with an Executive Summary in the Downloads section of this page.

Information and Advice

The team provides a City Carer magazine and monthly bulletin for carers and also organises activities and information awareness events during Carers Week and Carers Rights Day. More information is available by contacting the team.

 

Contact Carer Support

Contact the Carer Support Team to discuss the types of breaks that may be available in your local area. There is currently no charge for carers support services in Wolverhampton. From April 2015 under the Care Act, all carers became entitled to a Carers Assessment.
