Wolverhampton City Council has set up a carers' awareness training course for frontline staff to help identify hidden carers.
The course was developed when it became clear, during the council’s consultation on its carer strategy, that local authority reception staff and workers in the PCT did not understand the needs and responsibilities of carers, or recognise who might be one.
The courses are designed to raise awareness among GP surgery staff, council receptionists, employees working in the community or anyone who might be able to identify carers who may benefit from council support.
