Working Together for Change - Carers Questionnaire

Introduction

Information from the Survey of Adult Carers England and the Carers in Bedfordshire Adult Carers Questionnaire undertaken in 2019 has provided Central Bedfordshire Council with valuable insight about the current issues for carers in Central Bedfordshire. Within Adult Social Care we have been reviewing this information to help us develop the carers offer for the future.

To help us do this, we are working with Simon Stockton and the Count Me In network using a process called ‘Working Together for Change’, a citizen-led approach for co-producing changes to services through person-centred commissioning and service development.

The approach uses information collected from local people to shine a light on what is working well, what is not working so well and what may need to change for the future, to ensure support is tailored to people’s needs and aspirations for the future.

A key part of ‘Working for Change’ is about involving local carers, and we are asking you to be involved, by answering the 3 questions below, to tell us about the things that matter most to you in your life as a whole. Your answers will help steer a future workshop, planned for 2021.

When answering each question, please tell us the top two things that matter most to you in your life as a whole. For example, this could be in relation to the support you are receiving from family, friends, professionals and/or from those within the local community; or it could be about a particular aspect of your life such as your homelife, work life, your independence or community involvement.

We understand circumstances may be different at the moment due to COVID, so please take your current circumstances, as well as pre-COVID circumstances, into consideration when answering the questions.

Following analysis of the questionnaire results, we will be holding a 2 day virtual workshop to discuss the information received, understand the patterns emerging about what matters most to carers and use that understanding to help develop a future offer for carers in Central Bedfordshire. You can highlight your interest in the workshops at the end of the questionnaire.
