National carers survey
Overview
This is a national survey commissioned from the Information Centre for Health (IC) by the Department of Health (DoH). The guidance and methodology are set nationally and must be adhered to in order to allow the results to be combined to give a national picture. The survey is a postal questionnaire which asks for feedback from Carers who have been assessed. The survey is optional but it was felt that it would be beneficial to the Council to take part.
Why we are consulting
The main aims of the survey are to:
• Collect the views of Carers
• Use these views to inform improvements in the services we provide
• Demonstrate a performance culture where structured research evidence informs practice
• Improve the results of Directorate and Corporate Assessments
• Highlight areas of good practice and publicise these
• Benchmark our performance against other authorities
