The Leicestershire County Council offices in GlenfieldA six-week consultation has been launched this week, to coincide with Carers’ Week, on the Leicester, Leicestershire, and Rutland (LLR) Carers Strategy 2022-2025. Views are being sought through an online questionnaire and via targeted group consultation with carers, particularly those who are currently accessing support from the county council. “An engagement exercise last year demonstrated that Leicestershire carers continue to identify with the priorities contained in the 2018-2021 Strategy. These included recognising and valuing carers, helping them have their own lives alongside their caring responsibilities and making sure they have the support they need at the times the need it. The consultation will shape the final version of the refreshed Carers’ Strategy for the coming three years, establish future plans across the partnership, and set out specific actions for the county council to address in Leicestershire.
