May 2026
Introduction
Social Work Scotland is the professional body for social work leaders, working closely with our partners to shape policy and practice, and improve the quality and experience of social services. We welcome the opportunity to respond to the consultation on Right to Breaks and Timescales for Support Plans for Unpaid Carers.
A workshop was held mid-April 2026 where members were invited to discuss the proposed approaches within the consultation, and to provide feedback in order to inform this response.
