Who are the carers referred to in the HSC Core Parenting and Caring?
Although it is possible to look at “carer” in the broader sense this module has a clear focus on parents and carers who adopt the same role as parents. This is an example of something to which the legal definition concept might apply. On page 62 of the syllabus the glossary refers to Carer’s leave. In this context the carer is described as a parent or other relative who is responsible for providing care.
