Each session has a different theme from carers rights to making a flexible working request. We are also guided by session participants and interactive discussions.
They are open to carers living in and/or caring for a person in Edinburgh and Midlothian and usually take place in the evenings.

Online learning
We are excited to offer a new online learning session designed to support carers who are balancing work and caregiving responsibilities. This interactive course provides practical guidance on how to manage the demands of both work and care, while also understanding your rights in the workplace.
The session covers essential topics, including:
- Your rights at work: Learn about legal protections under the Carers (Scotland) Act 2016, the right to request flexible working arrangements, time off for caring responsibilities, and protection from discrimination.
- Workplace support: Discover strategies for communicating with your employer and how to request reasonable adjustments that can help you balance your caring role and career.
- Accessing support: Learn about the support services available to you as a carer.
