The service will meet our statutory obligation to deliver information and advice to carers, is a key component of, with adult social care, the carers support process and includes a proactive support offer to reduce, delay and prevent the need for formal support for them and their cared-for in the future.

Support carers to consider and plan for what may happen in both the foreseeable, longer term and sudden, shorter-term changes in circumstances. • Provide support to carers to self-serve at different points in their caring journey including when caring begins, becomes more intense and changes or comes to an end. • Improve carer inclusion and connectivity in carer, local and wider communities. • Develop relationships with and improve carer access to key partner and community organisations. • Fulfil the Council's obligations under the Care Act to provide information, advice and assessments to carers. • Apply effective and efficient allocation of funds and resources to minimise cost for the best outcomes.
