The Distance Caring Project

People with long-term conditions may receive help, support or care from a relative or friend. Carers have been the subject of much research and policy development, however, there appears to have been an assumption that most carers live with or close to the person they support.

Members of SPARC (Caroline White, Jane Wray and Clare Whitfield) have recently conducted an exploratory study of the experiences of people who provide help, care and support from a distance. They suggest that ‘distance carers’ are an important group who are increasing in number and face specific and distinct challenges whilst providing significant amounts of support. They argue that this particular group should in future be considered in discussions of carers’ needs.

A report summarising their main findings is available Distance Caring -Final Report October 2018
