| Annotation | This is one of a series of studies arising from 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. This report summarises policy developments affecting working carers in the past 10-15 years according to where they live. It presents data about working carers from the 2001 Census and the CES study. It compares and contrasts strategy and policy implementation in the 10 localities: Hertfordshire, Leeds, Sandwell, Sheffield, Southwark, West Sussex, Anglesey, Swansea, East Ayrshire, Falkirk and Highlands. It considers how these local authorities have worked with other agencies and the voluntary sector in developing their approach; presents evidence about the resources made available to support carers; and highlights examples of local innovation and effective practice.
