This document aims to inform Learning Disability Partnerships about the National Carers Strategy. It includes information to ensure that local plans for all carers include carers of people with learning disabilities and carers with a learning disability. The document is in four parts, and covers: Joining up the National Carers Strategy and Valuing People Now; what the Government is already doing to support carers; Carers at the Heart of the 21st Century Families and Communities - the new National Carers Strategy and questions that a partnership board can use to check what is happening in their area to make the National Carers Strategy Happen.

The Government's proposals for the regulation of social care services are set out in the Social Services White Paper. They include changes to the inspection of services, the abolition of the Central Council for Education and Training in Social Work and the establishment of a new statutory body, the General Social Care Council (GCSS), to be responsible for regulating conduct and practice standards for all who work in social care. This article describes the background to the proposed general council and its links to training and service regulation, outlines the Government's approach to setting and enforcing standards, and suggests ways in which the general council will affect those who use and work in learning disability services.
