What monitoring of outcomes for young carers has the Welsh Government carried out following the implementation of the Carers Strategies (Wales) Measure 2010?
Welsh Government provides funding to Children in Wales to support the Young Carers Network (YCN) and an annual report is provided to Welsh Government evidencing the work that has been undertaken and achieved.
We have developed a National Outcomes Framework to underpin and measure the impact of the implementation of the Social Services and Well-being (Wales) Act 2014 on people in Wales. The framework is focused on the well-being of all people. Young carers have been engaged with the development of the framework and the development of the outcome indicators. There is also one specific outcome related to children that would include young carers.
There is also a requirement for health boards and local authorities to report on progress in relation to outcomes and this will include carers.
