Mutual caring: multimedia resources

This 2-disc set include information developed as part of the Mutual Caring Project. The Mutual Caring Project was set up to help promote recognition of good practice and develop improved service provision for older families where the balance of the caring relationship between the long-term family carer (often a parent) and the person with learning disabilities (normally an adult son or daughter) has changed. This disc set highlights this neglected area and provides evidence of practical approaches that can be used in different settings. Disc 1 is a DVD with video stories of personal experiences and covers: being a carer; person centred planning; carers’ assessments; and group and peer support. Disc 2 is a CD-ROM containing all resources, tools and reports developed as part of the Mutual Caring Project. Resources have been made to help families, people with learning disabilities, staff, commissioners and others and include: Supporting You as an Older Family Carer; Supporting You and Your Family as You Grow Older Together; Supporting You to Support Your Family; Supporting Mutual Caring; Circles of Support and Mutual Caring; and Being a Carer and Having a Carer’s Assessment.
