Employer Support Network - VOCAL Skip to main content

Employer Support Network

In partnership with Carer Positive, we lead the Edinburgh and Lothian Employer Network.

This is a diverse, cross-sector platform where members exchange best practices and insights on supporting carers within the workplace.

This dynamic peer support network brings together professionals from Diversity and Inclusion, Human Resources, and Health and Wellbeing to have open discussions and collaborative learning. 

VOCAL provides sector expertise, offering guidance on legislative updates, the latest carer research, and help with policy reviews. We also run discussions on key topics, offer practical support, and direct both employers and employees to relevant resources and information.
