In 2021 we were all asked a question about providing help to others, in the census. That information helps us pinpoint local needs, it helps us understand what is positive and what is problematic about caring and it helps us to understand who is providing care to others and who might need support. We spoke to experts in the field about how they are using information from the census about caring.

CIRCLE researchers will be using the outcomes of the 2021 census to update our understanding of unpaid carers. The important research we do can help you understand Census data, and help inform decisions in your area which can lead to better quality of life for millions of people

This practical guide for organisations seeking to deliver training programmes to carers has been developed using learning from the National Evaluation of the Caring with Confidence (CwC) programme1 . The CwC programme ran from 2008 to 2010 and involved a large number of organisations in the UK delivering a seven-module training course to carers in their localities.
