Every year, thousands of carers and former carers take part in our annual State of Caring Survey, helping us build the most comprehensive picture of unpaid carers’ lives in Scotland and across the UK.
Carer experiences matter, and by taking part, you will help ensure that carers’ voices are heard by policymakers, health and care services, employers and the wider public.
The findings from this year’s survey will play a vital role in shaping Carers Scotland’s campaigns, research and policy work over the coming year. At a time when a new Scottish Government and Scottish Parliament have been elected and decisions are being made about the health, social care and support for carers, it has never been more important that carers have their say.
Carers’ collective experiences are a vital source of evidence not only for Carers Scotland and Carers UK, but by many other organisations including Governments, local authorities, health and social care services, charities and carers groups.
We read every response we receive, and every answer helps strengthen the evidence we use to campaign for change.
The survey closes on 9 August and we will share the findings later this year.
Please take the time to complete the survey if you are a carer or former carer yourself, and to share the survey with other carers in your network. Thank you for helping us continue to advocate on behalf of carers across the UK.
