Who is it for?
The Carer Support Planning Toolkit is for carers and anyone supporting them to develop their support plans. When the Carers Support (Scotland) Act 2016 comes into force, all carers will be entitled to have a support plan.
What does it do?
The Carer Support Planning Toolkit contains a set of conversation and planning tools to help carers and their supporters prepare to complete their support plan. Using the toolkit will ensure that the carer has had time to reflect on what would be best for them.
How can you use it?
It is not necessary to use every tool in the Carer Support Planning Toolkit. Carers should pick the ones they find more relevant. It is suggested that the toolkit is worked through over more than one session to give time for reflection.
