Support at work for unpaid carers

Three in five of us will become carers at some stage in our lives, and there are currently over three million working carers in the UK. 

If you care for someone and also have a job, this section has helpful information to support you at work. This includes:

• Your rights at work
• Asking for flexible working (like changing your hours or working from home)
• Taking time off when you need to care for someone
• Being treated fairly and protected from unfair treatment

It also helps you think about:

• What to do if you want to stop working or go back to work
• Ways to learn new skills or get training to help with work or caring
