Minutes:
64.1 This item was introduced by Tamsin Peart, Performance and Development Officer, Adult Social Care.
64.2 Ms Peart outlined achievements over the past 12 months including the appointment of a schools worker to support young carers and the introduction of a city ‘carer’s card’. Priorities for the coming year included supporting working carers, supporting young adult carers, dementia, and developing relationships with the new city primary care teams.
64.3 In answer to a question from the Chair on the scheme for supporting carers in work, members were told that a key facet of this was encouraging employers to offer flexible working which could allow people to carry on working whilst providing care. This did not necessarily require additional resources to implement.
64.4 The Chair thanked Ms Peart for her contribution and reminded members about the carers’ challenge for 2012.
