Unpaid carers and people who use adult social care in Solihull are being invited to share their experiences as the council prepares future support plans.

Solihull Council is gathering views on its Carers Strategy, Our Offer to You and adult social care five-year plan. Residents can contribute through online surveys or attend a public event.

The council wants to understand what existing support works well, where improvements are needed and what would make the greatest difference to people who rely on services or care for someone else.
