Notice of the following motion has been given in accordance with the Committee Procedure Rules:-

Mr M Sands:

Committee welcomes the decision of Council to ask us to establish a commission to examine the creation of a Carers Carter to include:

a) Carer friendly practices employers could adopt to enable employees with carer responsibilities to work more flexibly;

b) Support that schools could provide to students with caring responsibilities whose studies and participation in school life might be adversely affected ;

 c) Support that the county council can offer or be part of to support community organisations in providing respite and social activities for carers who activities may be restricted by caring responsibilities;

Recognising the importance of this work across all the Council the Committee resolves the membership of the commission should be:

• An independent chair with experience & knowledge of the issues;
• Six councillors in total from Adult Social Care and Children's Services committees
• Norfolk County Council Carers champion;
• Four representatives nominated by Carers organisations.

Council agreed to establish the Commission no later than December 2017 with a target date to report by June 2018. This Committee therefore agrees that, as we have no more meetings until January, to: 

1. Delegate calling the first meeting of the commission to Officers;

2. Request the Executive Director of Adult Social Care to invite Carers organisations to nominate 4 representatives on to the commission; 

3. Ask Adult Social Care Committee to agree the representation of Councillors on the commission;
