Informal care over time

The government’s strategy, Caring for carers, aims to support carers in their caring activities, sustain their other roles including paid employment, and improve their long-term financial security. This project explored these policy goals using existing data sets to inform service developments and the allocation of resources for supporting adult carers. The research also provides baseline findings at the national level which could be used to monitor the impact of the strategy and related policy initiatives.
