The Outcomes Star for people caring for others

Copyright: Triangle Consulting Social Enterprise Limited

The Carers Star™ has been developed for use with a wide range of carers, both full time and part time.

‘Carer’ can refer to anyone who is providing unpaid care for a relative or other person, whether they live with the person they care for or not.

Organisations working with young carers may find that My Star™, the Outcomes Star for children and young people, is more appropriate than the Carers Star™ for carers under 18.

The Carers Star™ was developed with the Carers Trust and SEEL (Social Enterprise of East Lothian) with part-funding through the Scottish Government Change Fund.

The Carers Star™ covers seven key outcome areas:

1. Health
2. The caring role
3. Managing at home
4. Time for yourself
5. How you feel
6. Finances
7. Work

The Carers Star™ is underpinned by a Journey of Change that has five steps:

1. Cause for concern
2. Getting help
3. Making changes
4. Finding what works
5. As good as it can be
