Acknowledgements

The CES research team at the University of Leeds also included Leah Harris and Amanda Rodney, who both made important contributions to the project and in collecting the qualitative data reported here. The CES team wishes to thank staff at Carers UK, especially Madeleine Starr, for help and guidance throughout, and all members of the ACE2 partnership. Although the carers who responded to the CES survey and took part in the interviews for the study must remain anonymous, we would particularly like to thank them for their time and contributions. We are also very grateful to the staff of the local authorities, employers and other agencies in the localities in England, Wales and Scotland which were selected for detailed study, who provided valuable information, helped us to access survey respondents, and in some cases gave research interviews.
