The Scottish Government have launched a consultation on the new right to a break for unpaid carers. They're seeking views on proposed options on how to implement this right.
This consultation is an important opportunity for the right to a break to be shaped by the unpaid carers it aims to support, and the organisations that will help deliver it.
While the right to a break has the potential to be transformative, planning and delivery must recognise the current challenges unpaid carers and services face. The time for effective and meaningful change to short breaks is now.
