Abstract
This article examines the government's Strategy for Carers and considers its significance for people in informal caring relationships. It argues that although it contains important and innovative measures, the impact of these is likely to be limited. In addition there are issues that are overlooked or given insufficient attention. Crucially, the strategy does not address adequately the complex nature of caring relationships nor does it take account of the perspectives of people who receive care. There is a danger, therefore, that the strategy will be divisive. However, the recognition that caring is a widespread activity in which we are all implicated is to be welcomed.
