On this year’s Carers Rights Day 2025 (Thursday 20 November), the theme is “Know your rights, use your rights.”

If you care for someone, whether it’s a partner, parent, child or friend; you may be missing out on vital support simply because you didn’t realise you have rights as a carer.

In my new video I walk you through what those rights actually are, and how you can use them in practice.

In this video you’ll discover:

• Why recognising yourself as a carer matters
• Key rights every carer should know (from assessments to flexible working)
• How to make use of those rights in your daily life
• Where to go for help, guidance and support
