Carers’ Rights Day (21 November 2024) is a national campaign that aims to raise awareness of what rights carers have and signpost to information and guidance.

Essex County Council will be sharing communications over our social media platforms to reach as many carers as possible to help raise awareness of carers rights.

The council has produced a series of information videos to help carers understand their rights. Full link:

Information is also available on Essex website on carers rights: Carers' rights | Essex County Council

To find out more how carers are supported in Essex, visit – www.essex.gov.uk/carers.

Essex County Council also have resources and tools available for professionals which provide information on the new carers model and the support available to carers. I have attached a digital copy of the Essex Carers Map and a Think Carers Guide. You can also watch a webinar produced by ECC and our Carer support organisations for Carers Week which is aimed at professionals to give more information on the support offer to carers.
