Purpose:

Content: Declarations of interest for this item:   None   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.
