Carers UK - State of Caring 2016 Report

One year on from the implementation of the Care Act 2014 – designed to improve support for carers – carers in England are still struggling to get the support they need to care well, maintain their own health, balance work and care, and have a life of their own outside of caring. The charity Carers UK have published their State of Caring 2016 report which found that half of the carers surveyed had let a health problem go untreated or have seen their mental health get worse, while two thirds had been forced to give up work or reduce their hours to care for a loved one. View Carers UK Press Release for an overview of the report. Given this week is national Carers Week why not let us know what you think of the State of Caring 2016 report in the comments section below.

Very good presentation, brave of the speakers to tell their stories and had a very high impact - feedback from Mate/Hate Crime presentation and video session at Safeguarding Working Together Conference

When I moved to Sheffield nearly five years ago it was my "go to" organisation. I expect it to stay that way. All the staff and volunteers seem to pull out little gems of effort that disabled people like me couldn't do without. Professionally and personally - I love em :)

A fantastic presentation thought provoking and good questions from the floor around promoting this film/message to the general public not just professionals.

Disability Sheffield is a forward-thinking, energetic organisation doing a lot of positive work in Sheffield. I have no doubt they will continue to do so for a long time to come.
