All Age Carers

The development of the Carers Partnership Board with the Carers Centre (provided by Telford and Wrekin CVS, commissioned by Telford & Wrekin Council) will support each delivery and implementation of each action from the All Age Carers Strategy and provide an opportunity for agencies to feedback on developments, asking key questions, such as:

• What is working?
• What changes have been made?
• What is planned for the future.

The Partnership Board will be made up of carers, experts with lived experience that access services, and the various partnership organisations that help shape and deliver services to carers and/or the people they care for. Children’s Services will also continue to promote the work with parent carers through the short breaks forum in addition to the Carers Partnership Board.

Engagement will be carried out with Carers across the Borough, to ensure any developments are co-produced to meet the identified outcomes. The Carers Partnership Board will oversee the implementation of the strategy through an agreed action plan approach.

The role of the board will:

• continue to monitor and drive the developments of the strategy for the next 5 years through a comprehensive live action plan
• be involved, influence, collaborate and co-produce the offer for all age carers.

The board will meet every quarter and is chaired by an Expert by Experience.
