ADVICE and information for carers will be the topic of a one-day conference in Preston on March 18.
The Lancashire Carers Forum was set up last December, to give people who look after elder or disabled relatives or friends a chance to meet with county councillors and senior managers.
The event, to be held at the Harris Conference Centre, will offer carers information, and details of assessments and respite care.
County Councillor Doreen Pollitt, social services committee chairman, said: "Carers can devote most of their lives to the task, which can be rewarding, but is also exhausting.
"This conference will give the county council an opportunity to listen directly to carers and develop partnerships to plan for the future development of care in Lancashire."
