Carers Trust express disappointment that the Government has refused to support a Private Members’ Bill designed to improve identification of carers and improve access to services to support carers and disabled people.
Carers Trust supported the Bill along with 28 other national organisations but were disappointed that the Government refused to support this important legislation. The Bill proposed the following key changes:
Local authorities to provide sufficient supply of social care services, including social care services for disabled people and carers who wish to work or go into education,
NHS bodies would have to identify carers
Schools to identify and support young carers
Further and higher education establishments to identify and support young carers.
