Help raise awareness of the resources available to carers
to help them make informed decisions about care
About the #CaringAcrossGenerations campaign
A growing number of people are now caring across generations – having caring responsibility for young children or grandchildren and older loved ones.
We polled people with caring responsibilities and found that nine in 10 (92%) felt that choosing care for a loved one is ‘very’ or ‘quite’ stressful – ranking it higher than selling or buying a home and getting divorced.
CQC want people who make care decisions for loved ones to know that our reports and ratings can help them to make informed choices about care. To raise awareness of the resources available to them when choosing adult social care, and to educate them about the standards of care they have a right to expect, we will be launching a multi-channel public engagement campaign on Monday, 17 October.
