Carers Wales has developed some useful resources that can support you in your caring role.
Carers Notebook
This notebook is a simple document that collects your thoughts before a meeting with room to capture the information as the meeting happens or after the meeting has ended.
Carers spoke to us about needing more support to capture accurate information from meetings and having a space to plan their thoughts beforehand. This paper document was designed for those who also don't like to use technology within meetings.
The notebook can be downloaded for free or we can provide one for free to carers in Wales by contacting us at info@carerswales.org.

Emergency card and key fob
The Carers Wales emergency card and key fob is an independent resource that identifies you as an unpaid carer if you get in an accident or other emergency situation. This will indicate to an emergency service provider that the person you care for may also need support due to your incident.
All you need to do is fill in contact information for someone who knows the person who needs care so they can be informed you are out of action.
