20th December 2021
We would like to inform you about a brand-new initiative for unpaid/informal carers in Nottinghamshire. “Carers Space Notts” (CSN) has been jointly designed by Nottinghamshire County Council, the NHS, Nottinghamshire Carers Association and carers themselves.
CSN is a strategy group designed to bring carers who care for someone living in the county of Nottinghamshire (not including Nottingham city at this time) and local professionals together so that they can mutually benefit from sharing their knowledge, insight and experiences. We aim to provide carers with both the opportunity and the support needed to have an equal voice in decision making on policies and services which directly affect them. Our ultimate goal is to optimise the services and support available across Nottinghamshire, with carers being part of key decision making at all stages.
Our first session will take place via Microsoft Teams (or Zoom) at 1:30pm – 3:00pm on the 27th of January 2022. Dan Godley, Senior Commissioning Officer in Adult Social Care and Health at Nottinghamshire County Council will be attending as our guest speaker, outlining the new approach to Carer Assessments being adopted in the County.
Any carers who may like to attend can register their interest by emailing us at: carersspacenotts@nottinghamshirecarers.co.uk. Links and Information on how to join the session will be sent out in advance.
