The purpose of these events (there are nine being held across the country) is to help create a common sense of purpose and foster collective responsibility to ensure that carers have the services they need in their caring role whilst being enabled to have a life outside caring. The events will do this through:
- Engaging with local partners in early thinking on the development of pilots to be initiated in 2009/10;
- Encouraging partnership working across the board, from health to housing, for carers;
- Sharing learning from models of good practice within regions.
These events are aimed at managers, commissioners, strategic planners and service providers whose work has an impact on the lives of carers. The purpose of each event is to help create a common sense of purpose and foster collective responsibility amongst professionals to ensure that carers have the services they need in their caring role whilst being enabled to have a life outside caring.
