This is a West Sussex initiative aimed at improving how local employers identify and support employees who have caring responsibilities. Our aim is to work closely with employers to promote and embed practical solutions to create carer-friendly workplaces. This includes developing resources, delivering training and working with employers to foster new ways of working.

Many carers don’t identify as carers — they’re parents, partners, sons or daughters — but caring often has a real impact on work and wellbeing. 

We’re inviting employers to take one or more simple actions:

1.Book a short exploratory conversation 
Find out more about how Carers Support West Sussex can help you meet your obligations to carers and create a carer friendly workplace. Carers in Employment Consultations

2. Use our employer campaign pack
   We’ve created ready‑to‑use social posts, intranet and email content you can use to: 

• acknowledge carers in your workforce 
• signpost to confidential support 

3. Share our Carers in Employment leaflets

We’re happy to tailor our support to your organisation and build on what you already have in place. 

If helpful, I’d be very happy to arrange a short conversation Carers in Employment Consultations
