Carer Awareness Online Training

Care for the Carers provides a free, Think Carer programme of Carer Awareness Training as part of our Building Carer Friendly Communities initiative. Locations are across East Sussex. We are currently offering online training.
The training sessions are for businesses, health and social care organisations and professionals and volunteers working with carers. If you are an organisation interested in learning more about unpaid carers, contact us to discuss training at your premises.
