Earlier this month the Government launched its ‘Living with Covid-19’ plan to lift all restrictions and phase out free tests and carers have been sharing with Carers UK some of their concerns. Carers UK is, therefore, calling for free tests for unpaid carers to continue, for carers to be included in any future vaccination plans and for Government guidance for employers in relation to carers and workers with specific conditions. You can read Carers UK’s statement about this here.
Carers UK will be continuing to update the coronavirus section on its website with key information for carers, along with a dedicated page for working carers.
