Key Standard 1 - Information for Carers
Cheshire Carers Key Standards
One of the most important things that carers say they want is information. There is an abundance of information about help and services for carers, but it can often be difficult for people to find exactly what they want.
This page contains links to some useful sources of information. As well as providing services directly, including undertaking carers assessments, we work closely with other agencies, both voluntary and statutory, who provide help, support and information for carers.
