All Link carers participate in a
thorough assessment to establish their suitability. You will be
offered the opportunity to attend a preparation course and
appropriate training will be available, should you have further
training needs.
You can develop your own skills through a range of training
opportunities, which can lead to nationally recognised
qualifications such as a BTEC or NVQ.
You will have your own Link support worker to help and advise
when needed. As a Link carer you will be part of a team working
together to support the disabled child and their family.
You will receive a regular newsletter to help you keep in touch
with other Link carers and developments in the Link Scheme.
We aim to provide you with whatever you may need, including
information and special equipment, to help you care for the Link
child or young person.
