Carers Rights Day

Today is the annual Carers Rights Day and this year’s theme is about helping carers recognise the rights they have.

Carers Rights Day helps bring organisations together across the UK to help carers in their local communities find out how to get help and what it is they are entitled to.

Here at Royal Mail, we have a support network available through our Carers Employee Resource Group (ERG), which will be raising awareness today and is on hand to support our colleagues.

We created seven ERGs to help broaden our in-house support networks, increase awareness and make sure everyone has a hand in shaping the future of Royal Mail.

It forms part of the collective ambition of One Royal Mail – our equitable, inclusive and accessible culture where everyone can grow, thrive and be the best they can be.

Caring is the the ERG for working families.

Michael Price, Senior HRBP in Corporate Centre & Caring Employee Resource Group, said: ‘It’s crucial carers know what their rights are. Caring can be all consuming and knowing what support you are legally entitled to, is important.’
