EFFECTIVENESS OF INTERVENTIONS TO SUPPORT CARERS: NATIONAL EVIDENCE MINI SEMINAR: CARERS AND CARING HEALTH AND WELLBEING: MAKING EQUALITY A REALITY INVOLVE YORKSHIRE & HUMBER 12 SEPTEMBER 2013 Dr Andrea Wigfield, Associate Professor in Social Policy Deputy Director, CIRCLE (Centre for International Research on Care, Labour and Equalities) University of Leeds, UK

Overview of the evidence Evidence from 4 studies undertaken by CIRCLE:  The Demonstrator Sites programme  The Caring with Confidence programme  Supporting Carers in General Practice  Improving Employment Opportunities for Carers

Types of support  Identification of carers  Engagement  Involvement of carers in service delivery  Health and well-being  Carers’ Breaks  Education and Training  Employment support

Identification of Carers Many carers do not identify themselves as such  Involving carers in identifying others  Liaison workers in hospitals  ‘Carer Champions’ in general practices (GPs, Carers, Carers’ Centre staff)  Training health care professionals  Partnership between health, social care and voluntary sector

Engaging carers Key challenge: Engaging ‘new’ hard-to-reach carers Setting specific targets for carer groups Outreach workers through voluntary sector Offering flexible services in accessible venues Increasing awareness and knowledge of health and social care professionals Avoiding the term ‘carer’ Provision of alternative care Expensive marketing/advertisement campaigns are less successful

Involving carers in service delivery Involving carers can be a requirement of funding Involve carers from outset: in programme design, delivery, and evaluation Services can be more effectively tailored to meet the needs of carers Benefits to carers of involvement are numerous Some challenges: timeframes; boundaries between professional/caring roles; representativeness of carer involvement

Health and Well-Being Carers can neglect own health: maintaining carers’ health avoids carer breakdown Holistic health checks for carers (physical and well-being) Offering health checks in alternative venues Using voluntary sector staff Flexible appointment times/alternative care Many other carers’ services can maintain health and well-being

Carers’ Breaks Many carers report never having a break or only having a break for a few hours Flexible and tailored breaks - widely defined Widening accessibility of breaks Regular short breaks can be more beneficial

Education and Training Benefits to carers: life of their own; learning alongside caring; employment opportunities after caring; especially important for young carers Variety of topics (rights/benefits; health; caring; confidence; life outside caring) Flexible delivery but including face to face provision Peer group support and befriending for hard–to- reach groups Local, accessible community venues Specific provision in schools/colleges

Employment support Caring severely affects employment prospects costing the economy £1.3bn pa (PSSRU) Local, face-to-face, community venues, peer support Tailored provision with personalised action plans (pre and job ready) Flexibility in attendance Volunteering opportunities can help Build on caring skills Links to employers Alternative care/ALT

Challenges in assessing effectiveness of carer services Funding for projects and evaluations often short term Importance of evaluation not always recognised Service providers can ‘fear’ evaluation Appropriate monitoring data not always kept/analysed Difficulties obtaining robust evidence Challenges in identifying cost effectiveness

 Thank you for listening  Your questions or comments are welcome Full reports can be downloaded from the CIRCLE website:

 How can the health and well-being needs of different groups of carers be catered for in carers’ services?  What are the examples of good practice in supporting carers’ health and well-being in the region?  In what ways has the current funding climate affected carers’ support services in the region? Issues for Discussion
