ADASS Carers Policy Network

ADASS Carers Policy Network, would like to let you know that the Carers UK State of Caring 2019 survey has now launched.

The survey is the UK’s most comprehensive research into the lives and experience of carers and many professionals who work with carers find the results provide a useful evidence base for their work locally.

Last year it was completed by over 7000 carers and Carers UK used the evidence to push carers up the agenda for policy makers and to campaign for recognition and change across the UK. Please share this survey with your contacts locally and consider filling it in if you are a carer yourself. The closing date is 24 May 2019 to allow enough time for this to be circulated to carers through local newsletters.
