Issue - meetings

to approve the Aberdeen City Short Breaks Services Statement.

The Board had before it a report by Alison MacLeod, Lead Strategy and Performance Manager, which sought approval for the Aberdeen City Short Breaks Services Statement. 

Ms MacLeod explained that it was the final requirement to be taken forward from the Carers (Scotland) Act 2016 and required to be published by 31 December 2018.  She advised that the format of the statement had been prepared through work undertaken by a national working group and the statement was for use by both practitioners and carers.  She explained that it was intended to build on the bank of examples included in the statement and that the link to the Local Guidelines on the Waiving of Charges for Support to Carers would be made live in the document.

The report recommended:-

that the Board approve the Aberdeen City Short Breaks Services Statement.

The Board resolved:-

to approve the recommendation.
