Training for Carers

Supporting you

We know that it can be difficult to access training if you are a carer.  Time is short and it is often difficult to combine your caring role with learning new skills or getting qualifications.  At Barnet Carers we know it can be difficult which is why we have developed a set of webinars so that you can access them when it suits you.  Why not look to see what we have available?

We try and keep our webinars up to date and so on occasion, some will be taken down as we update them.  

We also feature useful training sessions from other providers.  These are grouped together to make it easier for you.

 

We will be developing these resources over the next few months.  Please let us know if there is an area you would like us to look at.

“My husband and I have been carers for our daughter for ten years, but only when we discovered Barnet Carers did our lives change. We learnt about the available support, including free adaptations at home that made it safer for our daughter “
