This is a briefing on the Foundation's Older Family Carers Initiative. The three-year initiative has come up with a clear set of policy messages to help health and social care providers to meet the needs of older family carers and their relative with a learning disability.
This pack highlights good practice both in planning for the future and in considering the big and small things that can make a difference for families in the present.
The Older Family Carers Initiative has produced these guidelines to provide useful good practice information and ideas for supporting older family carers. They are intended as a tool to help Learning Disability Partnership Boards, commissioners and frontline workers reflect on the way that older family carers are supported in their area.
Part of the GOLD programme, this is an update into people with learning disabilities, their friendships, their aspirations and how they spend their time.
