Shared Care Scotland exists to support more imaginative, flexible and person-centred approaches to the development of short break and respite care.We achieve this by:

• Giving a voice to carers and to all those who need, receive, or provide services
• Campaigning throughout Scotland to raise awareness of the benefits of short breaks
• Working with others, at national and local levels, to develop policies and practices which will result in more imaginative approaches to short breaks services
• Sharing knowledge, skills and experience to improve the range and quality of services and to promote good practice
  

Our services include:

• Events, networks, publications and learning resources to share knowledge, experience and successful practice
• An online and telephone enquiry service to put carers and service users in touch with short break and respite services that best match their needs
• General information and advice on all matters relating to short break services
