I just found out about this evidence based survey and completed the online questionnaire. It didn't take long to complete and maybe others of you would be interested too.
Care Minister announces call for evidence in support of new Carers Strategy
AB social careAlistair Burt, Minister for Community and Social Care has launched a call for evidence seeking a better understanding of the needs of unpaid carers. How can they be better supported? What services, resources and opportunities do they need to enjoy a happy and healthy life alongside caring?
This engagement exercise will seek views from carers, families, employers, clinicians, social care professionals, educators and many others about what more the government can do to provide support and help carers lead a full life without compromising their caring responsibilities.
Care Minister Alistair Burt said: “Carers make an invaluable contribution to society. I have met many brilliant carers who have told me it can be a struggle to keep all the plates spinning and make time for themselves. Through the Government’s new carers’ strategy, we want to support carers to do the best for their loved ones and have a life of their own beyond caring.”
The call for evidence is open until 30 June 2016 - please get involved and help shape a strategy which could benefit us all.
