Care for the Carers provide a range of services to carers throughout East Sussex, ranging from emotional support to carers skills training.

Care Passports were re-launched in November 2006 by Care for the Carers, the Development Groups, the Hastings Conquest Hospital and the Eastbourne District General Hospital.

A Care Passport is for carers to record the special needs, preferences and ways of communicating with the person they look after, if the patient themselves cannot communicate with staff. It is hoped that this will give carers confidence, prevent any misunderstandings and ensure the well-being of patients with special needs.

You can get a Care Passport from the following places:
