Serving the people of Bradford, Harrogate, Selby and Craven Districts

Being responsible for a child with additional needs is often quite isolating. You may feel other parents don’t or can’t understand what it’s like. Getting to know other parent carers, learning from and supporting each other can have a huge impact on your wellbeing.

Join our Facebook groups to meet other parent carers and keep informed about our online get-togethers as well as important news about local services.

We hold events and regular groups especially for parent carers, including a You Are Not Alone group for parents whose children display behaviours that are challenging. You can also join in any of the groups for all kinds of carers that you might be interested in. See the calendar below for details.

Power of Attorney Share and Learn

Location

Carers' Resource

Date

Wednesday, 19 November 2025

Time

10:45 AM - 12:15 PM

Description

Carers UK will be hosting a session led by Priya on Power of Attorney (POA). It will guide you through the key considerations in a practical and supportive way. Together, we will explore what a Power of Attorney is, when you might need to set one up, and how to approach conversations about it with your family.

We’ll also look at the different types of POA, what responsibilities each involves, and how the application process works. The session will cover what happens if a POA is not in place, explain the concept of mental capacity, and outline what steps you can take if difficulties arise with your appointed attorney.

There will be time for questions, so if you have specific question you would like to ask, please email us at digital.products@carersuk.org so we can ensure your questions are answered. You will have the opportunity to ask more questions during the session.
