Glasgow North West Carers Support Team

The Glasgow North West Carers Team is the Glasgow City Council Social Work team providing Carers Support and Services for unpaid carers in the North West Glasgow. 

A carer is someone who provides unpaid care and support to a friend, family member, or neighbour when the person they care for cannot manage independently due to illness, disability, mental health issues, or addiction.

Carer services are sensitive to individual need, treating people with courtesy and respect, ensuring confidentiality, promoting self-determination and not creating dependency. Services for carers are all about helping people stay well, connected, and confident in their caring role — ideally before challenges escalate.

An adult carer who wishes to access support in their own right can complete a Carer Support Plan. This will involve an assessment to determine your needs and what is important to you.
