The project will offer 3 courses of 5 sessions each tailored for carers who lack basic digital skills. These will be spread across the county but with a focus towards the ex-coalfield communities in the west. The initial focus of the sessions will be on getting carers confident to be online via tablets and using simple search and communication tools such as e-mail and face to face apps to enable them, and the people they care for, to retain contact with distant friends and family. The final sessions will demonstrate online shopping and specific online tools and apps developed for carers such as Jointly (developed by Carers UK). This range of topics will specifically address the key concerns of carers and should leave them with both the motivation and confidence to continue using tablets and the web. A range of tablets will be available to encourage participants to explore what will work best for them. The sessions will be relaxed yet structured in such a way as to encourage mutual and peer support. Further "reunion" sessions are planned to further encourage on-going peer support. As well as increasing confidence in using digital skills, this has the additional benefit of helping reduce isolation amongst carers.
