| Annotation | This cross-Government document is the successor to 'Carers at the heart of 21st century families and communities: a caring system on your side, a life of your own' (Department of Health, 2008). The strategy identifies the actions that the Coalition Government will take over the next four years to support its priorities to ensure the best possible outcomes for carers and those they support. Priorities include: supporting those with caring responsibilities to identify themselves as carers at an early stage; recognising the value of their contribution and involving them from the outset both in designing local care provision and in planning individual care packages; enabling those with caring responsibilities to fulfil their educational and employment potential personalised support both for carers and those they support; and enabling them to have a family and community life supporting carers to remain mentally and physically well. The Carers Strategy covers health, education, social care and employment matters. Consequently, the document provides weblinks to the strategies of the devolved administrations in Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales (see p 7). (RH). |
