Carers Parliament 2024 registration is now open!
The event will be held on 27 November 2024 in COSLA Conference Centre in Edinburgh. This will be a hybrid event, meaning you can attend in person or virtually.
Organised by Carers Scotland on behalf of the National Carer Organisations, the Carers Parliament has been running for a decade and has, since its inception, provided a space for carers from across Scotland to tell decision makers how caring affects their lives, contributing to a range of changes in policy and legislation in Scotland.
The agenda is taking shape and will be announced in due course but will include debates and discussions on social care, social security and poverty. We can reveal that the Minister for Social Care, Mental Wellbeing and Sport, Maree Todd MSP, and the Health and Social Care spokesperson for COSLA Councillor Paul Kelly have both confirmed their attendance.
To support carers to attend, we offer expenses including travel, replacement care and, if attending from further afield, accommodation.
