What is the Carer Passport Scheme?

A Carer Passport is a record that identifies a carer in some way and sets out an offer of support, services or other benefits in response. A Carer Passport helps carers to be identified, recognised and supported as part of the day-to-day life of an organisation or community.

Carer Passports can:

• increase identification and support for carers
• raise awareness of caring
• provide a concrete, easily understandable offer of support or services
• make carers feel valued
• provide help/assistance to managers or key professionals
• provide a short-cut so carers don’t have to repeatedly explain themselves
• help organisations benefit from carer involvement.
