Carers Week Survey 2009

Hidden and invisible?

Carers are invited to take part in the 2009 Carers Week survey, which
can be completed at www.carersweeksurvey.org.uk

The survey will be seeking answers to the following questions:

• Is the contribution that carers make recognised by society?
• Do carers need access to better support and services?
• Would increased recognition by professionals, and by others who
  impact on carers day-to-day lives, make a difference to carers lives?

The survey will bring to the fore the issues carers say are the most
important to them, and will give carers the opportunity to share their
experience of caring; the personal stories of the stresses and strains;
the ups and the downs.

The stories and experiences that carers describe will together create
an overall picture and a set of results, which will be at the centre of
Carers Week 2009. All information provided by carers will be private and
confidential.
