Adult Carers Survey - Review of Aberdeenshire Adult Carer Strategy

The Carers (Scotland) Act 2016 was implemented in April 2018 which introduced a number of responsibilities on all Scottish local authorities and health and social care partnerships to support unpaid carers in a different way. One of these responsibilities was to develop and publish local carer strategy for adult carers and this was first published in 2018, following consultation with carers and all other interested stakeholders. 

Aberdeenshire HSCP is reviewing it’s Adult Carer Strategy, which is our plan of what we have been doing and plan to do to support adult carers.  Your views are very important in helping us identify what we are doing well and how we can improve support to adult carers over the next five years.

We want to engage with adult carers, those supporting them and anyone with an interest in supporting adult carers. This survey is for adult carers. 

An adult carer (sometimes referred to as an unpaid carer) is anyone aged 18 and over who cares for a family member or friend due to illness, disability, mental ill-health, alcohol or drug dependency. The adult carer may look after the cared-for person on their own or they may be helped by others.
