Vision and purpose

Vision

Gloucestershire will ensure that carers, commissioners, providers and partner agencies work closely together to ensure that carers:

• are resilient and feel supported to manage their own health and wellbeing
• feel valued and included in their community
• have their voice heard at an individual and strategic level
• have opportunities to achieve their own goals, develop their own skills, and have employment and training opportunities
• have individual support that is personalised, accessible and timely
• have contingency plans in place when they cannot care.

Purpose

The Carers Partnership Board ensures that:

• there is a clear strategy in place for carers and that it is put into action in Gloucestershire
• people work together to improve support, advice and services available to carers in Gloucestershire
• people have their voice heard and can ask questions.
