2️⃣ The right to request flexible working
3️⃣ The right to ask your GP practice to identify you as a carer
4️⃣ The right (and choice) to request a free flu jab
5️⃣ Protection against discrimination and harassment
6️⃣ The right to request a Carers’ Assessment
7️⃣ The right to be consulted when the person you care for is discharged from hospital
