We often work with Carers over a long period of time, exploring different options and trying to resolve issues whilst ensuring that the Carer’s voice is heard. We can:

• Help you to prepare for a Carer Assessment
• Listen to you and talk through concerns, exploring what the issues are and what you would like to achieve
• Assist in taking what you want to say and drafting it into a letter
• Help you to prepare for meetings by spending time with you beforehand learning what you want to say and what questions you would like answered – these can always be written down in advance so that you are fully prepared on the day
• Attend meetings with you, providing moral support and taking notes, thus allowing you to focus on what you want to say. If required we can remind you of issues that you had planned to raise, and even read out your prepared questions if you are not comfortable speaking in formal situations. We cannot, however, interpret your concerns or talk on your behalf
