Many unpaid carers miss out on financial support simply because they don't know what's available. Taking a few minutes to check your entitlement could make a real difference to your income and wellbeing.

We’re kicking off a busy month on our social media!

Keep an eye out for lots of fantastic content on our Facebook AND Instagram channels over the course of November.

We’ll meet the team, give you information on caring and most important of all get you, the carer, involved by asking you what’s important.

To start off we’re asking, ‘𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗮𝗻 𝘂𝗻𝗽𝗮𝗶𝗱 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗿?’

💜 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗱 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸 2026 | 𝗞𝗲𝗲𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗶𝘀𝗲

Scotland's Promise is about more than words. It is about making sure care-experienced children and young people grow up loved, safe and respected, with the relationships, opportunities and support they need to thrive.

We believe that putting children and young people first means seeing them as individuals, listening to what matters to them and taking the time to build relationships where they feel safe enough to be themselves.

Through our Neurodevelopmental Family Support Service, we work alongside families and carers, helping them navigate challenges, access support and build on their strengths. We also work with partners to connect families with the practical, emotional and financial help that can make a real difference to their lives.

Our commitment is to keep listening, keep learning and keep working alongside children, young people and families; recognising their rights, respecting their experiences and supporting their hopes for the future.

We know that fulfilling The Promise takes sustained commitment and action. It means continuing to ask ourselves what more we can do to make sure children and young people feel heard, valued and supported, and that the adults caring for them are supported, too.

As Care Experienced Week ends, our commitment continues.

Every child deserves to belong. Every young person deserves to be heard. Every family deserves support. And every care-experienced person deserves the opportunity to shape their own future. 💜

📢 The Scottish Government has published its analysis of responses to the consultation on the new Right to Breaks for Unpaid Carers.

The findings highlight strong support for:

✅ A legal right to meaningful breaks from caring
✅ Personalised, flexible support
✅ Faster support planning for carers
✅ Prioritising carers at risk of crisis or burnout

The report reflects many of the issues carers tell us about every day and marks an important step towards strengthening support for unpaid carers across Scotland. We will continue to engage with developments as the new right progresses and advocate for support that helps carers maintain their wellbeing while sustaining their caring role.

💜 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗱 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸 | 𝗘𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗥𝗲𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝗠𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀

In our Neurodevelopmental Family Support Service, we recognise that positive relationships can make a lasting difference in the lives of care experienced children, young people and families.

Care Experienced Week is a time to celebrate the importance of belonging, connection and the people who stand alongside us through life's challenges and successes.

We pledge to listen, respect, advocate and work alongside care experienced children, young people and families to help them thrive and achieve their goals.

We will value every voice, celebrate every achievement and promote strong, supportive relationships. We will put each young person first, treat them as an individual and take the time to build trusting relationships in which they feel safe to share their experiences and feelings.

We will work alongside carers and families, helping them access practical, emotional and financial support so they feel informed, supported and better equipped in their caring role.

Because at NLCT, Every Relationship Matters.
