Specialist support for unpaid carers

County council bosses '¨have recruited a new '¨team to support unpaid carers across Herts.

The social workers and community care officers specialise in working with carers.

The team will support carers by offering information and advice, carer-led needs assessment, and support planning.

A key part of their role is to build stronger links with the local community.

A free carers’ assessment can be provided for anyone looking after a friend or family member. Visit www.hertfordshire.gov.uk/carers
