Who we work with, our accreditations, and associations

We work in partnership with different organisations, and are commissioned by SCC and the NHS in Surrey to deliver carer services. We also have accreditations that show how we work, and are associated with national carers groups.

Carer Confident Scheme LogoA ‘Carer Confident’ employer

‘Carer Confident’ is the Employers for Carers’ benchmarking scheme. We were the first carers’ charity to be accredited, and only the second charity (Age UK being the first). We’re also proud to say that at least a quarter of our employees are carers.

The scheme assists employers to build a supportive and inclusive workplace for staff who are (or might become) carers, and to make the most of the talents that carers can bring to the workplace. The scheme also seeks to recognise employers who achieve this, and inspire others to follow suit. Other employers accredited include the Cabinet Office, Public Health England, HMRC, Centrica and Aviva. More about the scheme here.
