This document is a learning package aimed at improving the support given to carers by health, social service and voluntary sector agencies. It is based on a pilot project in Croydon. The package describes ways in which more effective collaboration between agencies can be achieved and the impact this can have on improving support for carers. Emphasis is made on joint working at different levels in the community. The package consists of two booklets and a set of loose leaf learning modules for use in practice development groups.
