Not the main carer
Even though you may not be the Main Carer you may still have concerns yourself.If you are concerned about someone and provide some care and support, but do not have the final say on making decisions as that person's carer - then this section is for you.
Things to bear in mind, include trying to:
- Work together with the main carer
- Be positive
- Manage disagreements
- Support each other
- Keep the main carer informed
- Be clear on what you can and cannot do
- Be clear on how much responsibility you have
- Be open, discuss with others too
- Look after yourself
