Joint Aberdeenshire strategy for carers

Aberdeenshire Council and NHS Grampian, in partnership with carers and the voluntary sector, have jointly produced a strategy for carers.

The strategy covers the period 2006 - 2009. An action plan has also been produced detailing what will be achieved in 2007.

The strategy outlines our vision for carers' support and services, and sets out the actions we will take to achieve this vision. The document is based on the principles of the Aberdeenshire carers charter, which sets out how carers should be regarded and supported. The strategy is for all carers, including young carers.

The action plan summarises how we intend to meet the recommendations made from the carers strategy. The document contains the planned actions we aim to take during the second year of the strategy – our targets for 2007. We will update the action plan annually. The next update will be produced during 2008.
