Coventry City Council are developing a long-term vision and plan and aiming to produce a 5-year Carers Strategy, delivered by a multi-agency steering group.

The strategy will support to:

  • Embed the voices of Coventry residents into a long-term vision for carers
  • Inform and develop our commissioned services during the duration of their contract cycle
  • Continue the momentum of system led improvement for carers
  • Evaluate project support from Accelerated Reform Fund projects and embed learning
  • Strengthen council wide and partner approaches to Young Carers

They are asking for the views  of current carers, former carers, and those who may care in the future.
