| Annotation | Some 5.6 million people in Britain look after a relative or friend, and the government aims to support carers in their caring role. Many carers will be working when the need for care arises, and most wish to continue working. The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) commissioned the Social Policy Research Unit at the University of York to conduct research designed to help ascertain what can be dome to help carers to remain in work, or to return to work during and after caring responsibilities. This research summary outlines the elements of the study: a literature review was followed by qualitative research in-depth interviews with 80 carers, and focus groups with professionals from Jobcentre Plus, social services departments (SSDs) and carers organisations who work with carers.
