Disc 1 is a DVD with video stories of personal experiences and covers: being a carer; person centred planning; carers’ assessments; and group and peer support. Disc 2 is a CD-ROM containing all resources, tools and reports developed as part of the Mutual Caring Project. Resources have been made to help families, people with learning disabilities, staff, commissioners and others and include: Supporting You as an Older Family Carer; Supporting You and Your Family as You Grow Older Together; Supporting You to Support Your Family; Supporting Mutual Caring; Circles of Support and Mutual Caring; and Being a Carer and Having a Carer’s Assessment.
