The role of the Neighbourhood Carers Lead is to support earlier identification and coding of informal carers and to connect them to locally based health and well-being activities and support. This helps enable them to:
- Protect and promote their mental, physical, social and financial wellbeing
- Continue in their caring role (if desired)
- Enjoy a life outside of their caring responsibilities.
An individualised and person-centred approach is used to provide support including the use of What Matters to Me conversations, Personalised Care and Support Planning and signposting.
