Think Local Act Personal (TLAP) is looking for responses to its new Care Act survey. TLAP is running a survey that asks how much of a difference the Care Act has made in the experience of people with care and support needs, and carers.

There have been a number of Care Act surveys since it came into force in April 2014, however, TLAP says that this one will be the first that specifically seeks the views of people with care and support needs and their carers. The survey is for any adult who is 18 or over with a care and support need and for carers of any age.

The results of the survey will be used to help the Department of Health identify problems and find solutions to inform future work on the Care Act.

The TLAP Care Act Survey has been produced with the support of partner organisations and stakeholders: Age UK, the Care and Support Alliance, Department of Health, Healthwatch England, inControl, Independent Age, National Voices, members of the National Co-production Advisory Group, which is made up of people with care and support needs and carers, and Voiceability.

The TLAP Care Act survey can be accessed here. It should take about 10 minutes to complete and participants can enter a prize draw to win £100 of shopping vouchers. The closing date is 4th October.
