Support for the person you are caring for

Some conditions, like dementia, autism, learning disabilities, sensory needs and SEND, can affect how someone communicates and interacts. As a carer, you’ll know that needs can vary, from round-the-clock support to simply allowing more time and clearer communication.

To help you find the right support, our website offers specialist guidance and links to organisations that provide expert advice, practical resources, and emotional support for carers, families and friends.
