Adult Carers Strategy 2020-25
A person is considered a carer if they provide unpaid care to someone who has needs arising from a physical or mental condition.
Our key objective is to ensure Carers can maintain their own physical, and mental health and wellbeing. This is to achieve a balance between their caring responsibilities and a life outside caring. While enabling the person they support to enjoy the best quality of life.
