Our approach

To achieve these outcomes, we will:

• Help people to help themselves by offering good and timely information about how to maintain their physical and mental wellbeing and where to go for support.
• Develop a carer friendly Staffordshire by increasing awareness of carers and their needs within the wider community and employers.
• Work with partners to build and use community capacity to support carers.
• Promote independence by building on carers’ own assets and networks and linking carers to their local community resources.
• Co-produce support and services, working with individuals and communities.
• Encourage and enable our workforce to be able to identify carers and understand the role of the carer, and how to access support if they are a carer themselves.
• Embrace technologies to help identify carers earlier, link them to information and support, and use technology to support the caring role.
