Carer Positive work with organisations across Scotland to build and develop workplace support for members of staff with caring responsibilities. Employers able to demonstrate this support can then apply to become recognised as a Carer Positive Employer.
To mark Carers UK's 60th Anniversary in Scotland we are using our platform to share the stories of carers across the nation.

'In Praise of Young Carers – Pearls' is a poem kindly submitted to us by Denise McGee-Dewar.
