In 2023, the Council convened a Carer Strategy Steering Group, in conjunction with local stakeholders, to deliver a refresh of the 2018 – 2022 Croydon Carer Strategy. The refreshed Croydon Carers Strategic Plan has been developed as a system wide all age approach to direct resources to provide the best impact on the health, wellbeing and resilience of carers within the borough. The plan sets out a borough wide direction of travel, focussing on a ‘no wrong door’ approach to ensure local services are inclusive and supportive of the age, cultural and gender considerations of the caring role.
The report provides the narrative for the development of the strategy including: the governance and ownership; consultation on the document; and the future reporting of outcomes.
The decision required is to endorse the Council’s commitment to the strategic partnership in the approval of the Croydon Carers Strategic Plan.
