Every claim in this chapter is traced to the source behind it. Below is each one, numbered as it appears in the book, with a link that opens the original.

Carers UK, Online tools to help with caring (accessed August 2026): describes Jointly, a coordination app developed by Carers UK for families sharing caring responsibilities, designed to make "communication and coordination between those who share the care as easy as a text message." Cited here as confirmation that a genuine, established need exists for writing shared caring tasks down rather than relying on memory, not as a recommendation that readers must use this specific tool.
