About this session

Working caregivers are the invisible workforce inside your workforce — and most of them are running on empty. Built specifically for the "A Manager's Guide to Supporting Working Caregivers" context, this session stays concrete and respects your team's time.

Expect practical infrastructure — not platitudes.

What your people take away

  • Access the Carers UK support lines and local peer networks
  • Navigate the Care Act 2014 caregiver's assessment — a statutory right most caregivers don't use
  • Apply the Admiral Nurse support network (Dementia UK) specifics
  • Ask the three questions to ask on any care-home tour that cut through the marketing
  • Build the NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC) fast-track pathway — most people never hear about it
