Joint financed Mencap research project into the needs of older
family carers has lead to the appointment of a half-time post to
support older carers. The remit of the project is to offer support,
information and advice to family carers aged 70 and over in the
Bradford Metropolitan area.
The council has made a video ‘Taking The Next Step’ which
explores future housing options and planning for the future. All
older carers are issued with an emergency contact card. They are
also encouraged to take a proforma letter into their GP to alert
them of their needs as carers to be recognised.
