The Carers (Scotland) Act 2016 will come into force on April 01 2018.

This Act will enhance and improve the rights of carers and will also help to support them to have a life alongside caring, if they so wish.

As such, The Scottish Government have produced a document to aid with increasing awareness of the Act, particularly amongst external stakeholders and partners who they may not have been in correspondence with previously.
