Many people with caring responsibilities do not identify themselves as a Carer, and for some people it can take several years to realise they are a Carer and that there is support and services that they can access.
We want carers of all ages and backgrounds 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.
The Draft Wirral Carers Strategy has been co-produced with groups of Wirral Carers, who gave their time to identify what is important to them and share their experiences and knowledge. Carers were able to tell us about the times they felt they had to navigate the health, social care, and education system, and they provided examples of where they had received the support that they needed and when they hadn’t.
Together we have identified what is important to carers, but we want to know if we’re getting it right. Are these the same issues that matter to you?
Whether you are an adult supporting a friend or family member, a parent looking after a child who has additional needs, or a young person who spends a lot of time looking after members of your family, please look at the draft strategy and tell us what you think by responding to our survey.
Wirral Council is committed to making information accessible to everybody. If you require a paper copy of the survey, documents in another format or support completing the survey please contact us. If you would like support to complete the survey, please contact the Wirral Carers Helpline on Tel: 0151 670 0777, email: wsco@wired.me.uk or text CARERS to 87007.

The Wirral Carers Strategy is focused on unpaid Carers, family, relatives, friends, and neighbours that provide practical and/ or emotional support to someone due to disability, mental health, frailty, ill-health, or addiction and the cared for person would struggle to manage without that support.
Wirral Council have worked with Carers to co-produce this draft Wirral Adults Carers Strategy which sets out the areas that Carers themselves have identified as being important. The Strategy presents the priorities that have been developed through the co-production events as well as taking account of national developments.
The objective of the Wirral Carers Strategy is to recognise the important and invaluable contribution that Carers provide and identify areas that make improvement.
