| Annotation | Carers are some of the most vulnerable to the effects of social exclusion; yet they play a vital role within society, and one that is unpaid. Research has identified the most common indicators of social exclusion and those most at risk of it. "Caring on the breadline: the financial implications of caring" was published by the Carers National Association (CNA) to coincide with Carers Week in 2000. The author's "Carers and indicators of vulnerability to social exclusion" (Benefits, no 28, April/May 2000) points to attitudes, policies, institutional structures and barriers, and professional practices as denying carers opportunities to participation and full citizenship. Adequate levels of benefits and reliable, good quality care and support services are necessary foundations for real security and opportunity for carers. (RH). |
