Carers NI and Carers Trust Northern Ireland are making a joint statement regarding the coronavirus - or COVID-19. This covers an overview of the current advice for people who are providing unpaid care.

We also set out what we believe services should be planning and preparing, making sure that everyone from both Northern Ireland and UK Government, to the NHS, to social care understand the role that unpaid carers play in society; how they should be adequately accounted for in planning and supported.
