Starting the Conversation Toolkit
It is often hard for individuals in the workplace to talk about their caring responsibilities and support needs as these can be difficult issues to raise. Managers can find it hard to initiate or respond to a conversation about caring too.

This practical toolkit will help you:
- start a conversation about caring, whether this is about your own caring situation or that of the colleague(s) you are managing
- raise current and potential future support needs, either for yourself as a carer or for the colleague(s) you are managing
- explore workplace and external support options that may help
- reach out to others in your team who might not realise that they are caring
