| Annotation | This is one of a series of studies compiled as part of 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 outlines the main purposes of Action for Carers and Employment (the ACE partnership): to raise awareness of the barriers facing carers who want to work; and to test the mechanisms that can support them in combining work and care. ACE was designed to support the mainstreaming of effective support for carers of working age, and the development of services which enable carers to work, with an emphasis on policy changes and reform. This report provides a summary of what the ACE project achieved through its operational, research, policy and transnational partnerships. (RH). |
