CARE/CARERS

Employment support for carers (September 2009)
This report is based on in-depth interviews with 55 carers, both working and non working, in Scotland and England during 2008.

The study aimed to explore how caring responsibilities affect people’s decisions about employment; fill the evidence gap on the role and effectiveness of existing services for carers; assess how DWP and Jobcentre Plus can effectively help claimants with caring responsibilities to return to the labour market; and provide evidence to enable the DWP to develop its strategy for carers.
