Academic studies are allowed if (1) they are relevant to caring (see description on the right) and (2) have the interests of carers as their priority (message the mods if there is any confusion over this). All research posts will be deleted after 1 month to avoid clutter. This sub is small and the priority is for carers to relate their experience and receive support. Thanks for your understanding

Research and consultations
Because our community is primarily here to facilitate peer support, we do not allow third parties to post links to research or surveys. However, occasionally Carers UK may start a thread in relation to research we are conducting by ourselves or in partnership with another charity.
