RESOLVED:
 
That Cabinet:
 

1.   
Approved the Haringey Adult Carers Strategy 2025 -
2028 and endorsed the proposed first-phase delivery
plan.
 
Reasons for
decision
 
The Council has a
responsibility under Section 2 of the Care Act 2014 to prevent,
reduce or delay Carers coming into need of further services, or
delaying deterioration wherever possible.
 
There are also legislative
requirements for health and care statutory partners in relation to
Carers; further there are relevant interdependencies within the
Equality Act protected characteristics, including age, disability,
gender and race.
 
The joined-up approach taken has also framed
supporting Carers’ resilience, health and wellbeing as a
borough responsibility, beyond just health and social care
boundaries.
 
Our CQC report in February 2025 indicated that
Carers were often dissatisfied with the level of support they
received from the Council. This Strategy is part of our commitment
to our improvement journey with Carers who provide unpaid care and
support to residents in Haringey. We have listened to not only the
CQC feedback but also to feedback across several different methods
of engagement and coproduction with Carers across the borough.
