The Sandwich Generation: Managing Dual-Caring Duties
An estimated one million people in the UK are juggling childcare alongside caring for older relatives. This article explores the emotional, physical and practical challenges faced by “sandwich carers,” and signposts to organisations offering support, including Carers UK and local authority services.

Wellness Action Plans (WAPs)
Developed by Mind, WAPs are a proactive tool to help you manage mental health at work. They encourage reflection on what keeps you well, identification of potential triggers, and conversations about adjustments that could help you thrive.
