Carers Scotland

 

Are You a Carer?

If you are please let us know - we may be able to help you

Remember if you provide care for older people, anyone who is frail, anyone with an addiction or disability, and you are not paid to carry out this care, you are also eligible for the flu vaccine. This includes children or young people under the age of 18 carrying out significant caring tasks for another person.

Perth and Kinross Association of Voluntary Services provide advice and support services to both adult and young carers.

There is a wealth of information on NHS Inform about carers and caring. Below are some links into the site that we hope you will find useful.

  • Caring for a parent

    Watch this video on: caring for a parent at home

  • Telling people

    Caring responsibilities can make it difficult to maintain friendships or develop new ones. Telling your friends you're a carer is important so they understand and can support you.

  • Taking a break

    Caring for someone can be a full-time job, but it's essential that you take time out for yourself too. Read our guide to accessing breaks and respite.

  • Housing and carers

    Do you know your tenancy rights as a carer? Are you aware of all your care at home options? Do you need tips on moving someone around the home?
