Project Acronym: Discover
Project Full Title: Digital Inclusive Skills for
Carers bringing opportunities, Value
and Excellence.
Digital Birmingham is a leading a EU Funded project called DISCOVER (www.discover4carers.eu)
Digital Skills for Carers
This pan-European project, based in Greece, Spain, the Netherlands and the UK (UK partners
include HDTI, Birmingham City University and Open University as well as Birmingham City Council), is focused upon improving the quality of life of carers and the older people they care for through digital technologies, such as computers and mobile phones, ultimately helping to reduce their social isolation.
DISCOVER aims to help carers to access the information they need, when they need it and foster a shared learning environment for communities of carers to share experiences, knowledge, challenges and questions. The DISCOVER project uses the most appropriate technology and innovative forms of learning to reach and engage carers.
Expected benefits include improved digital skills, better communication and support for carers and those they care for leading to improvements in quality of care, quality of life and independent living.
DISCOVER aims to
To improve carers’ skills in using computers and other technologies to help them to find information, acquire new knowledge and skills, and meet other carers
Enable carers to pass on these skills to the older people they care for provide opportunities for both carers and older people to learn these skills together.
They are also looking for carers to participate in DISCOVER to help shape the development of the resources, as well as to evaluate the success of the project. There user engagement plan aims to work with trusted intermediaries (existing carer groups and networks) to help recruit carers (both informal and formal) to be part of the project. The benefits to carers participating in the project will be the opportunity to get support and access to resources that will help them make the most of computers, the internet and other technologies that will benefit them in their caring role and the person they care for.

Caring for carers is a course to prepare participants, both carers and professionals together, to deliver an eleven-week programme covering information sharing, coping strategies and support to carers of people experiencing mental health difficulties.
Caring for carers is run by the Meriden Family Programme. This is achieved through experiential learning, and the provision of an extensive range of written materials. A detailed manual has been prepared with eleven modules covering the following
topics: Introduction – the experience of mental health problems in a family Experiences of caring Information sharing – assessment and
treatments Information on local mental health services Communication in families Communicating with professionals Problem solving Dealing with crisis and relapse
management Recovery and hope Taking care of your own health
Since 2005 the “Caring for Carers” programme has been
delivered on a number of occasions and has been adapted to meet the needs of specific groups of carers. A Black and Minority Ethnic (BME) programme had been produced, and also a substance misuse adaptation, both of which received excellent feedback and evalua- tion. Supporting Carers Better.
