This year, Carers Rights Day is on Thursday 21 November 2024 – and this year’s theme is recognising your rights.

What are your rights?

• The right to unpaid Carer's Leave
• The right to request flexible working
• The right to ask your GP practise to identify you as a carer
• The right (and choice) to request a free flu jab
• Protection against discrimination and harassment
• Requesting a Carer's Assessment 
• Being consulted when the person you care for is discharged from hospital
