Participating in Advocacy Alliances

Care for Carers connects up to 20 social welfare organizations and groups that provide carer support services, including children, the elderly, rehabilitation, and people with disabilities. We concern on the situation of carers, advocate policies that are beneficial to carers, and raise the public awareness. We are currently members of the platform and, together with other member organizations to actively promote the support for carers at the community and policy levels.

The platform now focuses on proposing the establishment of a carer database to understand the needs of carers; reforms and regularization of carer allowances to affirm the contributions of carers and support their financial needs; strengthen emergency respite services to provide immediate help; provide alternative care programs are available from time to time; formulate a carer-oriented policy to fully support carers; improve the community environment, use the role of caregivers to build carers-friendly communities and community respite spaces, and so on.
