| Annotation | This is one of a series of studies arising from the Carers, Employment and Services (CES) study conducted in 2007-7 at the University of Leeds, commissioned by Carers UK, lead partner in the Action for Carers and Employment partnership. The study was part-funded under the European Social Fund (ESF) EQUAL Community Initiative Programme. This report is about how services are used by carers to support them in managing caring alongside paid employment. It explores the difficulties careers face when trying to combine work and care if services do not meet their needs or are not available. It considers the situation of carers who have had to give up work in order to care, or who are trying to return to paid work, after or during a period of caring. The report explores the situation of 812 carers aged 16-64 who were employees - 444 full-time and 368 part-time - and 56 carers who were self-employed. It also considers the circumstances and views of 400 cares who had left work to care, 50 unemployed carers who were actively seeking work, and more than 500 carers who were looking after their home and family as their full-time role.
