We are consulting on the priorities we will focus on to improve the recognition of and support to unpaid carers.
Consultation description
The Welsh Government is asking for your views on a new National Strategy for Unpaid Carers. This new strategy will replace the one published in 2021. It is based on what unpaid carers and their organisations have already told us matters most to them. We want to know what you think about the draft strategy. Your feedback will help shape the final version, which we will publish later this year.
