Report of a research study looking at the experiences of carers of people with learning difficulties. The views of people with learning difficulties are also looked at, focusing on how people felt about being cared for, and becoming carers as their parents grow older. Few carers were aware of their rights under the Carers Recognition and Services Act 1995 and the study looks at why. Also examines the level of satisfaction of those carers who received a needs assessment and follows up what actually happened after the assessment.
