Carers strategy

images of Carers Strategy launch

Shropshire County Council have produced a document for Carers in shropshire.

The joint strategy, the result of a partnership between Shropshire County Council, health professionals and the voluntary sector, shows how they hope to develop carers’ services in Shropshire.

  • British Red Cross
  • Community Council of Shropshire
  • Crossroads
  • Shropshire County Primary Care Trust

Working with Carers in Shropshire - a Joint Strategy, aims to improve support for carers and to recognise the crucial role that they play in delivering care to vulnerable people. We want to treat carers as true partners and to give them services which they are telling us they need.

Shropshire County Council, with its partners, is committed to providing the best possible services to

carers. The Carers’ Strategy encapsulates how we hope to achieve this. Essential to this whole process is consultation with carers which is meaningful and effective. Carers are the backbone of our caring

system and need all the support that we can give them.

Carers Strategy Launch

Carers of all ages were given the opportunity to tell their stories and experiences at the official launch of Shropshire’s Carers’ Strategy. The event was attended by nearly 90 people most of whom were carers.
