Carers Week factsheet

Across the UK, 5.8 million people are providing unpaid care, and nearly 3 million unpaid carers aged 16 and over are in paid employment. Carers UK research also shows that 2.6 million people have given up work to care – around 600 people a day. This can be a huge challenge for employees, having a potential impact on the likelihood of them carrying out their role to the best of their ability. This factsheet will explain what a carer is, and how to support carers in the workplace.
