Disability Advice Project

Supporting Carers is a fundamental part of our service and as such we will always look to support carers both internally within our organisation and those who come to use our service.
Carers are a standing agenda item at staff and whole team meetings to ensure that they are always at the forefront of our operations.
We will always look to identify carers and identify the issues they face both as carers and as individuals.
We will ensure that all staff and volunteers champion the carers and the invaluable service they provide to our society.
We will ensure that all staff and volunteers are able to provide good quality and, up to date information and support to carers.
We will consider carers when producing and implementing policies and procedures throughout our organisation.
