Carer award delight

HYWEL Dda University Health Board is delighted to have achieved the Carer Confident Level 1 (Active) Award, from Employers for Carers, in recognition of the work undertaken to build a supportive workplace for staff who are juggling work with caring duties.

This recognition will help staff to identify themselves as carers and access practical support in the workplace to assist them to combine their work and caring responsibilities.

Since January 2019, the health board has been a joint member along with its three local authority partners in the Employers for Carers scheme.

The scheme is an employer membership service provided by Carers Wales and Carers UK and provides a Carers Confident benchmarking accreditation scheme.
