In Control Scotland has launched a toolkit for unpaid carers, the result of 16 months of collaborative learning, testing and development.
This resource has been co-produced with unpaid carers and those working in roles that support carers. Through a series of action learning sets, participants shared experiences, challenged assumptions, and worked together to develop practical approaches that reflect what matters most to carers.
The toolkit has been further strengthened through testing with local carer organisations, ensuring that the content is practical, relevant and grounded in real-world experience.
