CARERS IDENTIFICATION & REFERRAL PATHWAY TRAINING FOR PROFESSIONALS

The London Borough of Havering in partnership with Havering Carers Hub invite partners across the Council, Health, Community and Voluntary sector to help identify ‘hidden’ carers and understand how to support them. Around 2 3,000 people identify themselves as carers in Havering with only a small proportion known to services. These ‘hidden’ carers, also known as ‘informal’ or ‘unpaid’ carers often do not have any help or support.

Training offered will cover:

• Definition of an informal carer & how to identify them
• Care Act 2015/Havering Carers Strategy
• Carer Assessments
• Carer tacit knowledge/expertise
• Referral pathways into Havering Carers Centre for support

Ths event will take place on Microsoft Teams. The link will be emailed to you prior to the event.
