The All Age Carers Strategy Consultation has now closed.

Thank you to everyone who took part.

Your feedback has made a difference in shaping the strategy to reflect the views of carers in west Cheshire and shape services to respond to the needs of All Age Carers.

A copy of the feedback report is available here. The All Age Carers Strategy was discussed by the Council’s Cabinet on 13 January 2021. Information about the meeting is available on the Council’s website here. The final 'All Age Carers Strategy 2021 - 2026' is available here.


Cheshire West and Chester Council and NHS Cheshire Clinical Commissioning Group want carers of all ages in the borough to feel valued, empowered and have access to the right support at the right time.

We are writing a strategy to improve support for carers. We want the strategy to reflect the lived experiences of local carers and how they wish to be supported in the future. We have identified what we think is important to carers, but we want to know if we’re getting it right. Are these the same issues that matter to you?

If you’re a carer, parent or are involved in providing services or support in this sector, we want to hear from you. Your feedback will help us to improve support for carers across the borough and make sure future services reflect carers needs.

Please share your experiences, ideas and views by selecting from options below. This consultation is open until Sunday 18 October.

Continue reading further information here. You can also read the draft strategy, developed in partnership with a carer-led group here.
