Excited to be at the final session looking at relationships between paid and unpaid carers #collab4care
🧵 1/3 Congratulations to @CarersCoalition for this important research, which should make policymakers at the local level reflect on how to enhance #transparency in the budget process.

South Lanarkshires 23% is woeful given the many carers I know who are seeking support. I’ll be asking why there is such an underspend in such a critical area during a punishing cost of living crisis. @jmacross46 @CllrChalmersSNP

Kudos to @CarersCoalition for their FOI research, identifying that, of Carers Act funding awarded from Scot Gov to South Lanarkshire Council, only 23% of has been allocated by SLC for that purpose. What is SLC doing with the rest of that Carers funding? news.stv.tv/scotland/scotl…

EXCL: £25m of funding for carers was not spent by councils last year. FOIs submitted by @CarersCoalition to all of Scotland's 32 councils found spending is not being tracked & in some funding was allocated elsewhere. Carers say the findings are "sickening." More @STVNews at 6pm

1. Of the £88.4m allocated to local authorities in Scotland for carers support, we found that only around £62m has been used for direct/indirect carer support. This in itself is astonishing, but the real story is actually how difficult it has been to track carers act funding...

Another fantastic session delivered by @Rights_Real for our fabulous #HumanRightsDefenders from carer organisations. Lots of learning and discussions about how to make human rights real for carers in Scotland! #HumanRights #CarersRights
Absolutely welcome this letter from the Minister, reminding councils and HSCPs of the purpose of the Carers Act funding and also requesting greater transparency over how the Carers Act funding is allocated locally. gov.scot/publications/c…

Tomorrow MSPs will debate whether to proceed with the NCS Bill. Its by no means perfect, but it does give us the best opportunity to deliver on much needed reforms in social care. Without an NCS Bill, I think it's unlikely that we will see any real change for carers in Scotland.

Carers rights not yet realised @CarersCoalition reveals that despite carers now being ‘far more aware’ of their rights than in 2018, many of those rights are not yet being realised in practice. Read on👇 @CarersScotland @Shubhanna @richardmeade13 @hegeit healthandcare.scot/stories/3662/c…
.@CarersCoalition put out a survey on Carers' Rights and they’ve published their findings from over 1,000 Carers across Scotland. One issue highlighted is that although Carers are more aware of their rights, these are not always being met by authorities. Read the results below.👇
@CarersCoalition have published some important research on barriers faced by unpaid carers, trying to access their rights. It's not a happy picture 👇

In Scotland if a carer meets the local eligibility threshold, then the local authority has a *legal* duty to support that carer. In reality however, the threshold is often set too high to provide any meaningful support, or it is ignored until carers reach a crisis...

🧵 1/3 Congratulations to @CarersCoalition for this important research, which should make policymakers at the local level reflect on how to enhance #transparency in the budget process.
1. Of the £88.4m allocated to local authorities in Scotland for carers support, we found that only around £62m has been used for direct/indirect carer support. This in itself is astonishing, but the real story is actually how difficult it has been to track carers act funding...
South Lanarkshires 23% is woeful given the many carers I know who are seeking support. I’ll be asking why there is such an underspend in such a critical area during a punishing cost of living crisis. @jmacross46 @CllrChalmersSNP
Kudos to @CarersCoalition for their FOI research, identifying that, of Carers Act funding awarded from Scot Gov to South Lanarkshire Council, only 23% of has been allocated by SLC for that purpose. What is SLC doing with the rest of that Carers funding? news.stv.tv/scotland/scotl…

Brilliant FOI by @CarersCoalition £25m would be pretty useful for short breaks and care…
EXCL: £25m of funding for carers was not spent by councils last year. FOIs submitted by @CarersCoalition to all of Scotland's 32 councils found spending is not being tracked & in some funding was allocated elsewhere. Carers say the findings are "sickening." More @STVNews at 6pm
Excellent investigation into missing public funds for Scotland’s unpaid carers by @CarersCoalition 👏🏻👇🏻

‘The budget is there, we’re not getting it. Who is?’ This is disgraceful! @LauraAlderman_ @CarersCoalition

'Sickening': Scotland's carers short-changed by £25m last year. Millions in Scottish Government funding designated for carers went unspent by local councils, a Freedom of Information has shown. i.stv.tv/3VpZgrd

Looking forward to delivering carers rights and SDS training tomorrow for Dochas Carers Centre. Meanwhile enjoying Scottish hospitality 😊 #unpaidcarers @CarersCoalition
Absolutely welcome this letter from the Minister, reminding councils and HSCPs of the purpose of the Carers Act funding and also requesting greater transparency over how the Carers Act funding is allocated locally. gov.scot/publications/c…

An excellent paper from @CarersCoalition setting out improvements to the proposed National Care Service ahead of tomorrow's stage 1 debate, recommendations that @unityen fully support #UnpaidCarers
The National Carer Organisations have published a briefing for the upcoming stage 1 debate on the National Care Service. The briefing sets out how the Bill's proposals can be improved to better support many of Scotland’s 800,000 unpaid carers. Read here: carersuk.org/briefings/nco-…
Tomorrow MSPs will debate whether to proceed with the NCS Bill. Its by no means perfect, but it does give us the best opportunity to deliver on much needed reforms in social care. Without an NCS Bill, I think it's unlikely that we will see any real change for carers in Scotland.

Carers rights not yet realised @CarersCoalition reveals that despite carers now being ‘far more aware’ of their rights than in 2018, many of those rights are not yet being realised in practice. Read on👇 @CarersScotland @Shubhanna @richardmeade13 @hegeit healthandcare.scot/stories/3662/c…
.@CarersCoalition put out a survey on Carers' Rights and they’ve published their findings from over 1,000 Carers across Scotland. One issue highlighted is that although Carers are more aware of their rights, these are not always being met by authorities. Read the results below.👇
@CarersCoalition have published some important research on barriers faced by unpaid carers, trying to access their rights. It's not a happy picture 👇
In 2018, the Carers (Scotland) Act was introduced to give carers some very specific rights to access support, and to be included in decisions about them and the people they care for. But are those rights being realised in practice? We decided to find out...
