Partnership in Practice Agreement - Dundee City Council

• the strategy for carers including those supporting people with profound and
multiple learning disabilities (PMLD) has helped carers understand what
services are available, but there are still carers who are unaware how to
access support
• particular thought needs to be given to how older carers are supported.
What improvements do we plan to make over the next three
years?
• we will set up a Supporting Families sub group of the PIP implementation
group to take the work forward
• we will provide additional short breaks at the White Top Centre
• we will develop an alternative resource for people with mild/moderate
learning disabilities to provide breaks 52 weeks a year
• we will develop an emergency service
• we will develop eligibility criteria and an allocation system for short breaks
• we will develop a commissioning strategy
• we will improve information about short breaks
• continue to ensure a high quality of service and promote equality of opportunity
and diversity
• we will look at ways to support people who are caring for someone who are
hard to engage
• we will review and develop the Local Area Coordination Service
• we will implement caring at home and your plans for the future.
