Carer Friendly Tick Award: Successful application

As you may know, we recently put in an application for a Carer Friendly Tick Award: Employers. We are delighted to announce that our application was assessed by a panel of carers and considered successful. Assessors were impressed that we have appointed a Board Lead for Carers, and by the detail and effort we have put into our carers’ statement, to ensure carers know how to access support internally. The panel said “this policy clearly shows the value and respect in which Carers on the staff are held.” A huge thank you to EDI advisor Mercy Kaggwa for all the effort she put into the application, it’s a fantastic achievement for the trust to be recognised with this award.
