Calling Fife Social Work Department!

WE’RE LOOKING OUT FOR CARERS ARE YOU LOOKING OUT FOR THEM TOO?

In Social care you encounter carers every day in the work you do. If you would like to
· develop your awareness of the issues that carers face and have the opportunity to hear about some of these issues first hand from carers.
· increase your knowledge and understanding of policy (local and national) and legislation relating to carers.
· develop your knowledge of support organizations available to carers.
You can do so by attending a “Partners in Care” workshop at Fife Carers Centre. Workshops are available on:
(Times include Lunch)
Friday 6 November 2009 10.00 am – 1.30pm
Thursday 12 November 2009 12.30pm – 4pm

No one expects to become a carer - but 3 in 5 of us will be one at sometime in our lives.
There are around 42,000 people who are carers in Fife - and most of them don’t know there is help available for them.
