Description

Warwickshire County Council (WCC) currently commissions a Carer Wellbeing services (from age 18yrs) and a young carer support service (from 6yrs+ to 25yrs). Parent carers are currently being supported by WCC's Children with Disability team via a Parent Carer Support Pathway. These services provide support to:
o promote mental and physical wellbeing,
o reduce loneliness and isolation,
o ensure carers feel connected
o Ensure carers can access breaks and respite
o assist with support and emergency planning,
o peer support and group activities, 1:1 support, information, signposting and referral support on anything relevant to the carers needs.

We invite discussions on what models we could potentially consider for commissioning that will provide carers with support that is flexible, adaptable and responsive to local needs. Providers can therefore choose to respond to the market testing packs that focus on areas (this could be locality or subject/specialism related) they are interested in delivering and are therefore not expected to complete all parts of the market testing pack

This is not a procurement/tender exercise. Providers are invited to engage with this market testing activity to help inform the commissioning of an All Age Carer wellbeing and support service model in Warwickshire.
