About this training
How to complete this training
Navigate through the pages of this module at your own pace. At the end of each main section, you’ll find a short video that expands on the key points covered. As you go, you’ll also be asked a few questions to check your understanding. Once you’ve answered all correctly, you’ll be prompted to move on to the next section.
Note: The terms ‘unpaid carer’ and ‘informal carer’ are commonly used interchangeably within healthcare settings.
What to expect
This training module will help you identify individuals with unpaid caring responsibilities, understand the support available to them, and explore how your service can become more carer-friendly.
By completing this module, you’ll be eligible to register as a Carers Champion – someone who voluntarily supports unpaid carers within their organisation and acts as a key link between The Carers Centre for Brighton & Hove and your workplace. Carers Champions will receive a badge and lanyard by post to recognise their role. If you would like to become a Carers Champion, please select ‘Yes, send me a badge and lanyard’ on the next page.
We can only provide support and resources to Carers Champions based in Brighton & Hove. If you’re based outside the city, you’re still welcome to complete the training and download your certificate of completion.
