Consultation Birmingham Carers Hub

Overview

Consultation Birmingham Carers Hub

The vision for Adult Social Care is for people to live healthy happy independent lives within their communities.

It is important that unpaid carers have access to support when it is needed.

A carer is someone of any age who provides unpaid support to family or friends who could not manage without this help.  This could be caring for a relative, partner or friend, who is; ill, frail, disabled or has mental health or substance misuse problems.  In this instance the carer will be 18 years of age or older and be unpaid and/or informal.

Existing adult carer support services for people aged 18 years or more are coming to the end of the contract period, 31^st March 2023.

We want to recommission these types of services but improve on service design and delivery to ensure services are more person centered and build resilience and independence.  We want to seek good outcomes for individuals and design the right services to achieve this.

Our consultation document sets out our proposals and we want to know what you think.

Please take time to complete the survey which will help us to commission and deliver the right services for the right people at the right time.

A easy read version of the questionnaire and consultation document is available by contacting either; Jill Crowe – jill.crowe@birmingham.gov or Ricardo Dodd – ricardo.dodd@birmingham.gov.uk

THE CONSULTATION WILL RUN FOR 30 DAYS FROM

 4^th APRIL TO 4^th MAY 2022
