Carer Aware Gloucestershire

Carer Aware was developed following an idea from an unpaid carer within Gloucestershire. The carer suggested that a discreet way of identifying someone who is an unpaid carer would support them within their community and with professionals.

Gloucestershire County Council designed the Carer Aware logo and there are now various ways which you can show that you are an unpaid carer in a discreet manner. This allows individuals within the community to recognise that you are supporting someone and they can make adjustments accordingly, if required.

There are various items available to unpaid carers within Gloucestershire; these include:

• Carer Aware Badge
• Carer Aware Lanyard
• Carer Aware Discount Card

These items are available for registered carers at the Gloucestershire Carers Hub. If you would like any or all of the above items, please email careraware@peopleplus.co.uk
