The Scottish Government have provided full details of a programme of regional forums this summer, as part of the National Care Service co-design process.
These forums will take place across Scotland from June to August and aim to provide an opportunity for people with lived experience of accessing or delivering social care support to take part in the next phase of gathering evidence.
You can find out more about these forums here and sign up for one of the sessions on eventbrite here.
