This Charter for Unpaid Carers sets out the legal rights of unpaid carers in Wales under the Social Services and Wellbeing Wales Act 2014. These rights are the same for all unpaid carers, whether they are an adult, a young person or a child.
The Charter has been developed with unpaid carers, their representatives and professionals.
It wants to raise awareness so:
- all unpaid carers know about their rights
- unpaid carers recognise when they aren’t getting their rights
- professionals, in all services, know about unpaid carers rights
