Find out how your local authority is getting information to carers
3 key questions to ask:
• Does your local authority have an information strategy?
• How do new carers find out what’s available to them? Is there a regular bulletin in GP surgeries and libraries?
• How does your local authority reach out to ‘hidden’ carers?
