AnnouncementChanges to the Unpaid Carer Referral Process

As of the 1st May 2024, the Carers Information Line (CIL) will no longer be operational. Whilst a new central referral process is being explored, all unpaid carers can be referred directly to their local services.

If you are working or visiting an acute site you can visit one of the Support and Information Services based within the hospital who can help you with a referral.

Please be aware that the location of the service who will support you is dependent on where the person you care for lives. If you are unsure which services to contact please use this postcode checker first (this will open a new window).

Otherwise please find details of your local carers service below:
