## Notice

Bracknell Forest Council is looking to commission a Carers' Support Service. The service will provide information, advice, guidance and outreach support to eligible carers whereby the cared for is resident in Bracknell Forest. This includes adult carers caring for another adult, young carers approaching adulthood and parent-carers caring for a child approaching adulthood. The service will work collaboratively with partners and key stakeholders to develop services for carers. The service will act as lead agency for carers, delivering training and championing carers' issues, and will work proactively with other Voluntary and Community Sector partners to ensure a cohesive response to the needs of carers. The service will support the central priorities of the All-Age Integrated Carers Strategy 2024-2029 and contribute toward the associated outcomes detailed in the Carers Strategy Implementation Plan. Not all carers will identify themselves as a carer and the service will be expected to proactively seek out these individuals, identify them, and offer appropriate support and guidance. We would like to draw on providers' expertise to inform the review of the specification and service model.
