Working Together was a project funded by the Lincolnshire Mental Health Promotion Fund. The project focused on working with employers and employees who are carers.

The project was developed because:

• The relationship between employer and employee can often be difficult where the employee is a carer
• Employers don’t always understand their duties towards employees who are carers
• Employees who are carers don’t always understand rights
• Staff recruitment and turnover can be disruptive and expensive if carers leave work
• A poor relationship with their employer can have significant impact on carers wellbeing

What the project did?

• The project focused on the South CCG and East CCG areas
• A Project worker was recruited who worked to:
  • Identify partner businesses
  • Identify carers as employees
  • Jointly review policies and practices
  • Provide training and awareness to employers and employees
  • Establish peer support groups
  • Establish information resources
