Scottish Disability Equality Forum

SDEF Response Carers Legislation April 2014

General points:

  • SDEF, alongside the other Disabled Persons Organisations, welcomes and supports legislation for carers.
  • Changes in legislation affecting carers inevitably impact on disabled people and other service users who are ‘cared for’. They cannot, therefore, be made in isolation; they must be co-produced with disabled people and other service users.
  • We ask that terminology is aligned with the Social Care (Self-directed Support) (Scotland) Act 2013 and that the pejorative term ‘cared for person’ is replaced by ‘supported person’.
