Consultation on Right to breaks for unpaid carers
The right to breaks provisions in the Care Reform (Scotland) Act 2025 will make changes to the Carers (Scotland) Act 2016 to deliver a right to personalised short breaks support for carers who can’t currently access “sufficient breaks” from caring.
This is currently out to consultation but the consultation closes on 22 May 2026.
If you or someone you know may be affected by this, you can respond to the consultation by following this link:
