Carer's identity - Is it important to identify as a carer to others, such as employers and friends?

In this episode, I talk about some of the reasons why people who care for friends and loved ones, do and do not refer to themselves as cares/caregivers.  I discuss what the advantages can be in identifying yourself as a carer/caregiver and why. I also summaries the benefits for employers in supporting their employees, to both identify themselves as carers and retaining them in the workplace by fostering a flexible, supportive and inclusive working environment.
