Roundtable: Supporting Working Carers

19th May 2026 | 12pm to 1pm

Practical Steps for Employers

Bringing together like-minded employers, this session will share practical ideas and real-world experiences to help you build a more inclusive, carer-friendly workplace. You’ll hear expert insights from Carers UK, along with a guest contribution from Standard Life, who will showcase their award-winning approach to supporting working carers.

The session will also explore the latest consultation in this space and how employers can get involved, alongside powerful lived experiences from individuals balancing work and caring responsibilities. These perspectives will offer valuable insight into what meaningful, day-to-day support truly looks like.

We’ll explore simple, effective steps organisations can take—from shaping supportive policies to creating a more understanding and flexible culture. You’ll also hear lived experiences from individuals balancing work and care, offering an honest and valuable perspective on what meaningful support really looks like.

With Carers Week just around the corner in June, this session is a great opportunity to get inspired and start planning—whether you’re looking to mark the week or take longer-term action to support your people.

Come along to share ideas, learn from others, and leave with practical steps you can take right away.

This event is for Working Families employer members only. 

Spaces are limited to two per member organisation.
