Libraries in Dudley have become the main source of information for carers in the borough.
The council is promoting its 13 libraries as where to go to for its Carers' Information Service.
The libraries will:
· display posters inviting carers to ask staff for help
· keep an information folder on how to support carers
· have information on links to relevant websites to help carers find the information they need
· stock books for carers displaying ‘carer aware’ stickers
· provide free copies of the carers anthology Smiling is Allowed
All staff will aim to complete an online awareness training course.
The council has secured funding from the Department of Health to develop the course, which will be available to carers and anyone in the borough who works with them.
