Being an older carer of someone with complex needs is a demanding role, but it has become even more challenging due to huge budget cuts for learning disability services; this has led to reduced respite care services, smaller carer grants and generic assessments that fail to pinpoint urgent needs. The Oxfordshire Family Support Network has already run successful projects supporting older carers. This grant will cover a Project Worker to set up action-groups of trained and informed carers across Oxfordshire; the project will enable carers to have a voice about the commissioning of local services.
