Sheffield City Council and its partners are updating the Council's Carers Strategy. The Council's newly appointed commissioning team for carers want to work with expert partners (including unpaid carers) to co-produce the new strategy. If you are interested in participating in this process, please see below for further details.
Sheffield City Council - Carers Strategy
Are you a carer?
Do you spend time looking after or helping a friend, partner or family member due to illness, disability, frailty or addiction? The care you provide may be personal, practical, emotional or supervisory and is unpaid. If this applies to you then you are a carer.
In Sheffield approximately 1 in 10 people are a carer.
Would you like to be involved in influencing services to support you and other carers?
Sheffield City Council and partners are updating the Carers Strategy and we want you to be involved in this process. The Council is acutely aware of the contribution made by all carers for those they care for and to the wider community.
We want to develop our carers' strategy with carers, in recognition of their role as expert partners. Your views will help us determine what are the priorities for carers who live in Sheffield.
Key priorities - do you think that the 8 objectives outlined in the last carers' strategy 'Sheffield: a city where every carer matters' are still relevant to carers now?
They are:
Let us know if you think these priorities are still important or if you want to be involved in developing the next carers' strategy - please get in touch with your views and contact details:
