A conversation about caring
Description
No two carers are the same or are the needs of any one person receiving care the same.
Following on from the launch of the ‘Social Care – Making a difference’ campaign launch last week during Carers week (9-15 June), on the latest episode of the ‘Care to chat?’ podcast, we are privileged to have an authentic conversation piecing together the experience of carers and social care.
We welcome Gerard McWilliams, from the Social Care Council’s Participation Partnership, Liam Dorrian a social care practitioner Positive Futures and a carer for this family, Áine Magee, Stratagem NI (formerly of Carers NI) and Agnes Lunny, Chief Executive, Positive Futures. They sit down with our host Dr Wendy Austin MBE, to talk about the role, challenges and experiences of Northern Ireland’s 220,000 unpaid carers, according to 2021 Census, as part of social care.
They explore the incredible diversity of carers across Northern Ireland. Carers come from all walks of life, and though their carer role and challenges may differ, they share a common theme of resilience, dedication, and compassion.
