Carers Partnership

The Worcestershire Carers Partnership was set up in 2015 in response to the National Carer Strategy and Worcestershire Carers Strategy 2015 -17. It replaces the Carer Consultative Group established under the 2010-14 strategy.

The purpose of the Partnership is to:

Monitor the implementation of the Worcestershire Carers Strategy
Oversee the development of subsequent updates of the Worcestershire Carers Strategy and associated strategies
Discuss and address issues of common concern to carers in Worcestershire
Raise awareness and improve understanding of the role carers play in supporting other people
Exchange ideas, strengthen skills and share examples of good practice in developing the support and services carers need to remain in their caring role

Membership of Carers Partnership:

Membership of the Partnership is open to those who have a lead role in developing support and services for carers.
