Carer Harm

In 2022, Family Carers Ireland worked in partnership with Dr Sarah Donnelly, UCD School of Social Policy, Social Work and Social Justice to do a piece of research looking at carers who experience harm in their caring relationship. The small research project, funded by the Irish Research Council’s New Foundations Grants Scheme, involved interviews with nine family carers who have experienced carer harm as well as interviews and focus groups with a range of professionals. The research findings informed the development of four information leaflets, which were co-designed using a World Café methodology. To download the research report, please click here.
