About this session
The sandwich generation didn't ask for the role — but they're carrying it anyway. Built specifically for the "Having the Conversation" context, this session stays concrete and respects your team's time.
Participants leave knowing which specific organizations to contact, which benefits to check, and which conversations to have this month.
What your people take away
- Access the practical scripts for raising caring responsibilities with a line manager
- Navigate the Care Act 2014 caregiver's assessment — a statutory right most caregivers don't use
- Apply the three questions to ask on any care-home tour that cut through the marketing
- Ask the NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC) fast-track pathway — most people never hear about it
- Build the difference between Attendance Allowance and PIP — and which to pursue first
