Are You a Carer?
Caring for someone is an important and valuable role but we recognise that it is a 24 hour a day job which can be very demanding and lonely. We wish to support our carers and encourage you to let us know if you have caring responsibilities by completing the form below.
Carers are often “hidden” looking after a family member or helping a friend or neighbour with day to day tasks and may not consider themselves to be a carer. If you provide help and support to a partner, relative, child, friend or even a neighbour who just could not manage without your care, without payment, you are a Carer. Carers can be very young to very old and from all walks of life and cultures, juggling jobs, children, school work and their own health needs and we wish to support each and every carer to access the help they need. This includes helping you access benefits that you may be entitled to, organising respite care or just a listening ear.
If you are a carer, please speak to reception.

Supporting a family member, friend or neighbour who has health needs can be rewarding but also comes with challenges. You may need help finding services, you may need a break, or you may just need a chat with someone who understands.

Do you help to look after a member of your family, who has an illness, disability, or who takes drugs or alcohol? If you answered yes to any of these questions then you are a Young Carer.
Hertfordshire Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust
They recognise the vital role that carers play in supporting people with mental health problems, learning disabilities and long-term conditions. They want to ensure that their services support you every step of the way and involve you as much as possible, whether through meetings, conversations or ensuring you have access to support for your own wellbeing.
