  • Information:
    Carers have the right to accurate and detailed information before, during and after caring.
  • Choice:
    Carers have the right to make informed choices about the decision to take on or to continue caring.
  • Co-ordinated and flexible services:
    Carers have the right to expect agencies to work together and provide good quality services.
  • Consultation:
    Carers have the right to be fully involved in planning and providing services and to be asked regularly what they think.
