Forum Central are currently working alongside the 5 West Yorkshire Local Authorities, and the West Yorkshire ICB on developing a pilot project for a pre-bookable respite service. As they are in the early stages of this work, they are currently doing some consultation with unpaid carers so that they are clear on their wants and needs of how the service should look.

They want to make sure they reach the diversity of carers across the region, including unpaid carers in the 18-25 demographic, who may not necessarily be engaging with the carers support organisations.
