Link requests

Carers UK website links policy

Carers UK gets a large amount of requests for reciprocal links unfortunately we cannot help in the vast majority of cases. Please read the policy before submitting your link.

However even if we can't include you on the website please do let Carers UK know about your service using the form below. We may be able to let carers know about your service in other ways such as through our information service. (Find out about CarersLine. more...)

UK wide / national remit
At the moment our policy is we only link to a small number of the major UK wide disability/benefits/advocacy organisations. We want to keep this small so that carers do not have 'information overload' but can easily locate the organisation most likely to be able to help them or signpost them to the right place. Unfortunately this means we are not able to include everyone.

We have separate websites for Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.

Local organisations for carers
If you are a local carers service with a specific geographic remit we may consider you for inclusion in our list of local services for carers. However we cannot guarantee your inclusion. At the moment our policy is to only include one or two of the main carers' organisations in each area. We do not generally include condition-specific services. Again this is to cut down on the number and allow carers to have one contact that will then signpost them on. We also give priority to associate members of Carers UK.

Commercial organisations
At the moment our policy is that we do not link to commercial organisations such as mobility specialists, respite care homes, homecare providers etc. We appreciate your service may be invaluable to carers but we simply do not have space or resources at present to offer links.

Please note this policy is for guidance only and all link inclusions are at the discretion of Carers UK.
No correspondance will be entered into.
