New toolkit to support wellbeing of carers and families

NHS England has published a toolkit to help health and social care organisations work together in identifying, assessing and supporting the wellbeing of carers and their families.

An integrated approach to identifying and assessing carer health and wellbeing has been developed in collaboration with NHS England’s partners and forms part of NHS England’s ongoing commitment to carers.

The toolkit explains what is expected of NHS organisations under the Care Act 2014 and the Children and Families Act 2014 and includes examples of work that have been successful in supporting carers and their families.
