This week is Carers Week (8–12 June), which aims to recognise how many people undertake a caring role as part of their everyday lives.
You may have caring responsibilities yourself, or you may work with someone who does. This can include supporting a family member, friend or loved one who relies on you. For many people, this sits alongside work and other commitments and is an ongoing part of daily life. Caring responsibilities can also change over time and aren’t always easy to balance with work, so having the right support in place can make a real difference to how you manage both.
