Care Homes Brochure - Middlesbrough

This brochure has been produced by Middlesbrough Council. It aims to help you choose a Care Home either for yourself, a family member or someone you care for.  It's been designed to make sure that, when you are looking for a Care Home,  you have enough information to help you decide which one you would like to live in or recommend to someone you care for.

Forgotten Report (Kinship, 2024)

Forgotten explores the support which children in kinship care receive – or don’t receive – to help them learn well at school and to manage their mental health and relationships. It shares insights from our 2023 annual survey of kinship carers to reveal how a complex, inadequate and often inaccessible landscape of support for kinship children around education, special educational or additional learning needs, mental health and family contact and relationships is resulting in significant challenges for kinship families across England and Wales.

Making caring the 10th protected characteristic (Carers UK, Report)

  • Across the UK, millions of people provide unpaid care for an ill, older or disabled family member or friend. Recent Census data suggests that there are 5.7m carers across the UK. 
  • Carers can experience a number of challenges. They are more likely to have poor mental and physical health, and more likely to be living in poverty. Many carers have to give up paid employment to provide care which can lead to financial difficulties. 
  • Many carers have experienced discrimination or harassment.
