The Duties of a Carer and the Hidden Costs of Care
Caring is an all-encompassing role that extends into financial, emotional, and physical realms. Carers provide essential support that enables disabled individuals to live with dignity, yet they often bear the brunt of financial strain. Recognizing and addressing these hidden costs is a step towards ensuring carers receive the support and financial security they deserve. Policymakers and support organizations must acknowledge that caring responsibilities do not pause simply because a disabled person is temporarily away from home.
