Have your say in the first UK government survey of the adult social care workforce
This survey asks about your employment in the adult social care sector , how your role relates to your quality of life and wellbeing , and other experiences of working in the social care sector .
Findings from the survey will help the Department of Health and Social Care ( DHSC ) understand more about the adult social care workforce , how working in the sector contributes to people ’ s lives and how support for the workforce could be improved in the future .
The government needs to hear from as many people as possible , who work in an adult social care related role in England . And it is only by hearing from as many people as possible , that it can be sure that its results reflect the experiences of the workforce .
A large number of responses from across the adult social care workforce in England will provide robust evidence to inform DHSC policy decisions .
If you hold more than one job , please only think of your work in adult social care when answering the questions . If you have more than one adult social care job , please answer in terms of the role you spend most of your time doing .
Your responses will be treated confidentially and will not be shared with your employer or anyone at your workplace . DHSC will not know who has taken part in the survey – it will receive only anonymous results . No analysis will be conducted at employer or organisation level . Completing the survey will take about 15-20 minutes . Visit bit . ly / 3r1uLv0 .
