Carer resources

There is a lot of useful information for carers out there on the internet.  MoodCafe Carers has selected a variety of links you can trust on a number of different carer related topics. 

 

The Carers (Scotland) Act is a law which enhances the rights of carers in Scotland.

How the Act might affect you as a carer is explained in a series of leafets (See Self Help documents section). The leaflets cover What to expect if  - 

• You make an adult support care plan
• The person you care for is being assessed
• You are considering a short break
• You decide which self directed support optin is right for you
• You make an emergency plan
• The person you care for is being discharged from hospital

 

Many local areas have carers support organisations.  These are often Carers Centres.

In Fife,  Fife HSCP has a comprehensive webpage to support carers as does Fife Carers Centre
