A break is a form of support which enables unpaid carers to have time away from their caring routine.
Our short breaks services statement aims to help unpaid carers understand what short breaks are available, how they can be accessed and any eligibility criteria that apply.
The statement is intended to help unpaid carers to be better informed about the assistance available to support them achieve a break from caring, and provides information about our approach to short breaks for unpaid adult carers.
