How To...A Guide for Carers in Croydon 2009-2011

The 'How To Guide' is designed to give carers the information they need on any issue to do with their caring role. We hope it will help carers avoid being passed from one person or organisation to another in their efforts to secure the services that they, and the person they care for, are entitled to.

If you have any questions that are not answered by this guide, you have spotted any errors, or you would like to request a hard copy, call us on 020 8649 9339 or email jenny_jones@carerscontactline.co.uk.
