Carers experiences of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic - September 2020

Carers UK has launched a survey to capture how the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic continues to have an impact on carers lives.

Carers UK carried out a similar survey back in April to uncover the impact that the early months of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic had on carers. The results of that survey were effectively used to campaign for more support for carers and better recognition of their needs in the Government's responses to coronavirus (COVID-19) across the UK.

Your responses to this survey will enable them to provide comprehensive evidence of what carers are experiencing as part of their ongoing work to influence Government decision making, highlight carers’ experiences in the media, and ensure that their advice and information resources are appropriate for carers’ needs. In the survey they’ll be asking you to tell them what life is like now, what has changed, what's happened during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, and what support you need.

Due to the urgent nature of this research as we approach winter, this survey will only be open until Sunday 27th September.

Please note that this survey is only for unpaid carers (or former carers) who are looking after a disabled, older or seriously ill relative or friend.
