description |
In September 2002, new legal
rights in the form of the Community Care and Health (Scotland)
Act 2002 recognised the contribution of many thousands of unpaid
carers in Scotland. Carers were active in the policy process
leading to the act, Supported by Carers Scotland.
CRFR, in collaboration with CARERS Scotland and funded by the
Scottish Executive, studied what helped carers become involved
in this policy process. The findings highlight elements of good
practice that could help policy makers and voluntary organisations
in their work to engage with the public in policy making. |
