| Annotation | This is one of a series of studies relating to the Carers, Employment and Services (CES) study conducted in 2007-7 at the University of Leeds, commissioned by Carers UK, lead partner in the Action for Carers and Employment partnership. The study was part-funded under the European Social Fund (ESF) EQUAL Community Initiative Programme. The findings reported are based on 1909 responses to a national survey targeting carers of working age, and 134 face-to-face interviews with carers aged 25-64 living in ten localities in England, Wales and Scotland. The report explores carers' situation in: the early stages of becoming a carer (the first 2 years); when caring has become a longer-term commitment (2 years or longer); and as caring at home comes to an end. It includes evidence about how carers who are in paid work access and experience the support and services they need, and how they can be helped to care and to have a life outside caring too, in order to maintain their own health and well-being at different stages of caring.
