Regional Carers' Strategy

The Regional Carers' Strategy has been developed by the West Wales Carers Development Group, a multi-agency group which has actively encouraged feedback from Carers and organisations supporting Carers in West Wales. As you will see, the Strategy sets out four key priority areas:

• Priority 1: Improve the early identification and self-identification of Carers including Young Carers and Young Adult Carers
• Priority 2: Ensure a range of services is available to support the well-being of Carers of all ages, in their life alongside caring
• Priority 3: Support Carers to access and maintain education, training and employment opportunities
• Priority 4: Support Carers to become digitally included

These are explained in more detail in a short video (opens in a new tab) by Judith Hardisty, Chair of the West Wales Care Partnership and Vice-Chair of Hywel Dda University Health Board

There is also a video (opens in a new tab) to share with children and young people
