The Carers (Scotland) Act 2016 comes into force on 1st April
The Act provides new rights to carers in a number of areas. If you are a Carer, you need to be aware of the changes this brings and how they may affect you.
The Coalition of Carers have worked with a variety of carers, carer organisations and health and social care staff to co-design a set of leaflets for carers that set out what the new rights are and What to Expect….
The first 3 leaflets look at emergency planning, adult carer support plans and short breaks. They can be downloaded here:
What to expect when you are considering a short break
What to expect when you make an adult carer support plan
What to expect when you make an emergency plan
