Swindon Carers Rights Day Friday 26th November 2021
Alison Hill: Private Client Partner, Bower Bailey Solicitors Swindon said,
“We have had the pleasure of working with, and supporting Swindon Carers Centre for several years now. Whilst Carers Rights Day 2021 is an online event due to Covid-19 Restrictions, there is a fantastic line up of speakers for the Q&A session. It looks to be really informative.”
“It’s so important that carers are aware of their rights, and Swindon Carers Centre share vital information which is sometimes so difficult to determine. Carers play such an important role; so it’s crucial to be aware of your rights and those for whom you care. It is essential to take time for self-care, especially if you are looking after a loved one. Having a Will and Lasting Powers of Attorney in place can help to give peace of mind.”
Speakers at the virtual event will include Rebecca Harrison Co-chair of Swindon SEND Families Voice, who will open the event. Alexandra Luke, Associate Director for Operations, BaNES, Swindon and Wiltshire, at Avon and Wiltshire Mental Health Partnership, and Hazel Howe, CEO at Swindon & Gloucestershire MIND.
Panelists also joining Swindon Carers Centre for the Q&A session will include:
- Robert Buckland, QC MP, Swindon South
- Justin Tomlinson, MP, Swindon North
- Cllr Brian Ford, Cabinet Member for Adult Health and Social Care, Swindon Borough Council
- David Haley, Corporate Director – Children’s Services, Swindon Borough Council.
- Alison Barker, Corporate Director – Adults, Health & Housing, Swindon Borough Council.
