You say ‘carers working in Wandsworth’ – but it sounds like you mean ‘carers living in Wandsworth’? Unless you mean care workers… surely you mean family and friend carers?
There’s some confusion between care workers and family carers (not the same role at all) so could you clarify this?
Hi Geraldine
You’re right to point out that the use of the word ‘work’ is misleading in this instance as this service is designed for partners, family or friends who care for someone. There is most definitely a huge and significant difference between them and care workers. Apologies for the lack of clarity and thank you for you comment.
