Care Act for carers: One year on – Call for evidence closes 18 March 2016

Loaded: Fri, 19/02/2016 - 11:59

Carers Trust is holding a commission to find out how the new provisions in the Care Act are working for carers, one year on. 

On 1 February we launched a call for evidence which will close on 18 March 2016. We’d very much welcome your support, in particular to submit evidence from your perspective, about how the Care Act is working for Carers, including examples of what is working well, and what is not; as well as encouraging carers, and local services to do the same.

This commission is chaired by the Rt Hon Prof Paul Burstow, the panel members include Carers Trust CEO Gail Scott-Spicer. More information on the panel members here.

In April, we’ll be calling people to give oral evidence, and in July we’ll launch a report based on the findings. If you wanted to tweet about this, the hashtag is #CareActCarers, and there are some suggested tweets:
