Falkirk Council Carers Strategy Consultation Open

Posted on January 25, 2019

Falkirk Council’s Carers Strategy Consultation is now online, and they are looking for input.

The Strategy is being developed with Falkirk Health and Social Care Partnership (HSCP) and NHS Forth Valley, due for publication in 2019, and will describe how they intend to work with carers, and the organisations that support them, to ensure that Falkirk Council and its partners can support carers in a way that makes sense to them.

Respondents can choose whether to provide feedback on the entire draft strategy, or the priorities only. This allows access to all relevant information for those who want it, but in order to be as accessible as possible, respondents who don’t wish to read through the entire report can then respond to the parts important to them.

By extracting key themes and priorities, Falkirk Council have aimed to make the consultation process easier and less time-consuming for respondents.

The deadline for responses is Wednesday 27^th February.

To submit your response, or for further information, please visit the Falkirk Council website.
