VSNW have been in discussion with Health and social care partners working in Cheshire and Merseyside who would like to help develop a draft Carers Strategy and have set aside some funds to support a part time secondment.

A key focus for the work will be over the next 9-12 months, and could include:

• linking into a network of Carer Support Organisations to support influence and engagement in C&M Health and Care Partnership and related workstreams eg workforce, population health, etc
• supporting carers agenda and carer support organisations as the Health and care transformation kicks in (eg end of CCGs)
• Support development of a VCFSE Carers Strategy for potential implementation from April 2022

We would like to invite Carer Support Organisations to a kickstart discussion to think about the above and this role. The discussion will take place on 26^th July 12-2pm. Please circulate this invite to VCFSE Carer agencies who might be interested in this first discussion.
