BME carers: challenging the myth;"they look after their own"; a good practice guide

This examination of the extent to which carers services in Wales are accessible to Black and Minority Ethnic (BME) carers is located within the overall 'Caring about Carers - a Strategy for Carers In Wales (Implementation Plan)', a project initiated by the Welsh Assembly Government. Supported also by the Welsh Assembly Government, and carried out within the auspices of AWEMA (All Wales Ethnic Minority Association) as a BME Carers project, this study sets out to explore the needs of BME carers in Wales and the extent to which they felt that their needs were being recognised and addressed by mainstream services.
