The aim of this session was to get you thinking about how carers’ experiences have helped them to develop particular skills, qualities and attributes.

Have you been able to recognise these elements in the carers in your workforce?

You have now completed Session 3. You will explore these ideas further in Sessions 4 and 5, where carers explore how the skills, qualities and attributes developed in their caring role informed their career paths and enhanced employability.
