Carers Survey 2014/15

Overview

The Health and Social Care Information Centre (HSCIC) has asked all local authorities to undertake a Carers Survey in 2014-15. This survey is being run for the second time and was developed to learn more about whether services received by carers are helping them in their caring role and in their life outside of caring, and about their perception of services provided to the person they care for. 

Richmond Council will be contacting a sample of people who are, or were, a carer during the last 12 months and asking them to complete a questionnaire.  By carer, we mean someone who looks after a partner, family or friends in need of support or services because of frailty, physical or learning disability or illness, including mental illness.
