Understanding carers is the first step to supporting them.

The Carer Aware eLearning course is designed to help professionals, volunteers, and community members better understand the experiences of unpaid carers—those who support family, friends, or neighbours without formal pay.

Developed by Portsmouth City Council and Solent NHS Trust, this free online course explores:

  • The daily challenges carers face
  • The emotional and physical impact of caring
  • The types of support available locally
  • How you can make a difference in your role

Who is it for?

Whether you work in health, education, social care, or simply want to be more informed, this course is open to everyone. It’s especially useful for frontline staff and anyone who regularly interacts with the public.

By completing this training, you’ll be better equipped to identify carers, understand their needs, and signpost them to the right support.
