New report shows progress made by government carers strategy

The government's published the first annual progress report on its ten-year carers strategy.

Approved by Tynwald in 2024, the strategy aims to better support carers across the Island.

The Department of Health and Social Care says the new report highlights a number of key achievements so far, including a rise in referrals to the Crossroads care charity following an awareness campaign last year.

It's also pointing to increased GP carer registrations, improved online resources and the development of safeguarding guidance for carers.
