Support for Staff and Carers

Care Workforce App

A new dedicated app for the adult social care workforce in England has been launched to support staff on-the-go through the corona virus pandemic. The Care Workforce app, developed with the NHS and NHS Business Services Authority will be introduced under the new CARE brand and will act as a single digital hub for social care workers to access relevant updates, guidance, support and discounts from their phone.

Search for 'care workforce' on the Play store or App store to download it.

Carers Leeds

Unpaid carers are often forgotten about particularly during times of crisis, when many just 'get on with' looking after their loved ones. The Carers Leeds team want you to know, they are still here for you and are able to provide vital support, information and advice to anyone that needs it.

They are also running monthly online support groups for parents, carers and partners of autistic adults in Leeds.

This first group meeting starts tonight, Tuesday 9th June at 5.30pm-7pm on Zoom. For more information visit www.leedsautismaim/new-monthly-online-carers-group-from-carers-leeds/
