Policy and practice

Carers Scotland speaks with authority on caring because we are the voice of carers.

Carers Scotland seeks to improve recognition and support for carers through informing and creating dialogue with policy makers and professionals working with carers.

Research, policy and practice

Carers Scotland's work is informed by evidence which we gather through our research programme. Browse our free resource of policy briefings, research reports, responses to government consultations and good practice briefings.  You can also find here details of key legislation and policy including Care 21: the future of unpaid care in Scotland.

Training

Carers Scotland provides high-quality courses for health and social care staff, advice workers, employers and others who work with carers.

Working with carers and employment
