Family Carer Workshops and Webinars
We’ve been delivering workshops for family carers around the country for over 18 years. We do this to inform family carers about the rights of their relative with a learning disability, autism, or both, as well as their own rights as family carers.
Common topics include adult social care (the Care Act 2014), the Mental Capacity Act 2005, transition from children’s to adult services, and planning for the future. We can also offer workshops tailored to the requirements of a specific group of family carers.
During our workshops you’ll get to ask questions and share your experiences with other family carers. There will also be time during breaks to talk about your specific situation. Since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, we’ve started offering bespoke pre-recorded webinars along with live Q&As as an alternative to our face to face workshops. Follow our Facebook page to keep up to date with upcoming sessions.
Some feedback about our workshops:
