The Carer Positive employer awards scheme in Scotland turns 10 this year.

From its launch during Carers Week in June 2014, the Carer Positive initiative has worked with and awarded over 265 organisations with ‘Carer Positive Employer’ recognition. Almost half a million employees are now represented within these workplaces, and benefit from workplace cultures and practices which value and support staff with caring responsibilities.

The scheme has been designed to span a wide range of small, medium and large employers across the public, private and voluntary sectors in Scotland, proving that any employer - whatever their size and structure - can take part in the awards framework.

Due to government funding, Carer Positive is only available to support employers with workplaces in Scotland. For employers based in England and Wales, please get in touch with our colleagues at Employers for Carers.
