Brilliant to see the EADT taking the issues faced by unpaid carers – particularly working-age women – so seriously.
Their coverage today:
highlights many of the problems and inequities faced by women carers in Suffolk: longterm stress, poverty, loss of career, pension, loneliness, the often infantile and wholly inadequate nature of the ‘support’ on offer.
And as the LibDem Green and Independent Group’s spokesperson for Women I suggest the problems experienced by carers would be less hidden if Suffolk County Council made themselves more aware of the challenges facing women in the county!
