The Carers Parliament is an annual event for unpaid carers in Scotland, giving them the opportunity to address their concerns and questions on caring directly to national and local Government decision-makers.

The Minister for Social Care and Mental Wellbeing Tom Arthur MSP and the Health and Social Care Spokesperson for COSLA, Councillor Paul Kelly have both been invited and event organisers expect their attendance.
It is an important chance for carers to express their views and opinions especially with the recent parliamentary approval of the Care Reform Bill including the elements relating to a carers right to a break.
