It aims help social workers to develop a better understanding of the issues carers face and provides tools to help put this learning into practice. Resources cover general information about social work with carers, links to resources about social work law and practice, tools and training materials. The site also includes five case studies which illustrate how social work can provide support to carers. Each case study includes information about the case, examples of carers assessment and support plans, and tools and resources to help social workers consider their own practice.
