https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/carers-action-plan-2018-to-2020<\/a><\/p> <\/p>
There are 64 actions in the plan focused around five important themes:<\/p>
- Effective services and systems;<\/p>
- Employment and financial wellbeing;<\/p>
- Supporting young carers;<\/p>
- Recognition and support within the wider community and society; and<\/p>
- Building evidence and research to improve health and wellbeing outcomes.<\/p>
<\/p>
The forthcoming adult social care Green Paper will also include a focus on carers and how society supports them.<\/p>
<\/p>
On funding, social care continues to be a key priority for this Government. In addition to the £2 billion announced at Spring Budget 2017, we have announced a further £150 million for 2018/19, giving councils access to up to £9.4 billion more dedicated funding for adult social care in total over three years.<\/p>"}

\u200bThe Government is committed to continuing to support the excellent work of the British Council. The FCO has increased the British Council's overall grant over the current Spending Review period. Whilst specific grant funding for its work in the developed world has decreased, it has recently been agreed to provide some additional funding in this period to specifically support the British Council's work in Europe and in the developed world up to 2020. Decisions beyond this date will be taken in the next Spending Review.<\/strong><\/p>The British Council's activity and presence in Europe is primarily a matter for its management team and its Trustees. The British Council would have to seek the agreement of the Foreign Secretary before any closures of offices. Before any decisions are made, the British Council would also undertake an extensive consultation process with partners, stakeholders and the Devolved Administrations.<\/p>

It should be noted that this is only a proposal at this stage and remains open for discussion, with a final decision on the draft regulation likely to be made towards the end of the year. We will continue to engage with both industry and the European Commission in the meantime.<\/p>"}
