Carers Strategy 2022 - 26

The new four-year (2022/2026) Carers, Friends & Family Strategy recognises that carers and service users are experts in their own care needs and should be partners in the development of their care plan alongside professionals. 

This Strategy has been co-designed and co-produced with carers and staff. It provides our services and directorates with five key priority areas and detailed local delivery plans are currently being created. 

It describes what we want to do, how we are going to do it, and what carers can expect.
