Original consultation
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.

Additional information
Note: Anonymisation of responses
The downloadable response form issued as part of this consultation reflects an earlier version of Welsh Government's wording on the anonymisation of responses. Our procedures have since been updated so that consultation responses are treated as anonymous by default. Any personal data is now removed prior to publication, unless respondents explicitly request otherwise.
This updated approach will be applied to all responses received for this consultation, regardless of the method of submission
