This group will deliver activities and one to one support sessions to carers in Dundee with topics covered decided, by carers themselves, based upon their needs and interests. The project will be an opportunity for carers to recognise and build upon the skills they have developed in their caring roles, whilst providing a space where carers can share experiences and breakdown feelings of isolation. The project will support 500 carers over a period over the next three years.

....more
Development of a series of e-learning modules, for carers and workforce members, that outline carer's rights and the support options available in Dundee on the Carers of Dundee platform. Along with the modules, we will develop an interactive events calendar and learning portal on the partnership platform that enables Partnership and community organisations to upload their own events and resources pertinent to carers and the workforce that support them. This will require resources during setup, but once running will increase efficiency and communication between partners and will streamline the experience for carers looking for information and support. All resources being available directly or linked in to one central place online will make the process easier for carers who are often time limited due to their caring role and may not have time to search for all they information they require. This expansion of the existing Carers of Dundee website will provide a new method of carer engagement using digital technology as a tool for carer and workforce skills development. We have found that the flexibility offered by online learning suits carers who are often time poor, unable to travel to face to face training sessions, or may need to change plans at the last minute. We also know that flexible learning suits the needs of a diverse, busy workforce. The portal will ensure the site is up to date, dynamic and intuitive, enabling carers to find the information they need, when they need it. Over the past year, we have delivered an increasing amount of face to face training which carers, staff and volunteers have participated in together. The feedback from this has been positive, breaking down the barriers between paid workers and carers, enabling carers to feel valued and respected as equal partners in care, and providing the paid workforce with valuable insight and information. This proposal will enable us to bring that partnership approach into the digital sphere, making training and information sharing more accessible to busy carers and workers than face to face interventions. The modules will accessible as a full course to be worked through, or as 'bite size' chunks for people to dip into and find exactly what they need, when they need it. Testing of modules will take place throughout. SEE ATTACHED DOCUMENT FOR FULLER INFO ON CONTENT

In late 2016, Dundee Carers Centres' Carer Support Team piloted a Localities approach to delivering its services across the city, involving three members of staff supporting, adult, young adult and young carers. The success of this pilot has meant this approach is to be rolled out across the whole team over the coming months. This will mean our staff will be working predominately in communities as opposed to the main office. To help enable this, they will need new hardware, which will include laptops, tablets and mobile Wi-Fi -devices. This will allow them to access our server and work remotely in any location, allowing for more streamlined working, efficiency in recording their work and being further able to support carers regards offering information, advice and signposting.
