Carers

Are you an unpaid Carer in the county of Dorset?  In Dorset, there are three councils responsible for providing adult social care and support services:  Bournemouth Borough Council, Dorset County Council and the Borough of Poole.

If you are not a signed up Carer with the Carers Information Services this is the first step that must be taken to obtain a Carers Card which will enable you to access discounts for goods and services across Dorset.
