The trust wish to undertake research into the legal needs of carers which may lead to the setting up of a carers legal support service where carers can sit down with a specialist for bespoke legal advice. The need for such a service has been identified by work already under taken by GLCT with carers who need power of attorney or guardianships. The need for this service has expanded rapidly during the past year when over 100 cases were considered, this is a three-fold increase in the past year.
