Notice Description
The service is required to provide support to adult carers of people aged 18 and over in Derby. The service will meet our statutory obligation to deliver information and advice to carers, is a key component of, with adult social care, the carers support process and includes a proactive support offer to reduce, delay and prevent the need for formal support for them and their cared-for in the future.

Support carers to consider and plan for what may happen in both the foreseeable, longer term and sudden, shorter-term changes in circumstances. * Provide support to carers to self-serve at different points in their caring journey including when caring begins, becomes more intense and changes or comes to an end. * Improve carer inclusion and connectivity in carer, local and wider communities. * Develop relationships with and improve carer access to key partner and community organisations. * Fulfil the Council's obligations under the Care Act to provide information, advice and assessments to carers. * Apply effective and efficient allocation of funds and resources to minimise cost for the best outcomes.
