State of Caring Survey 2016

Complete the Carers UK “State of Caring Survey” and help them show the reality of what it means to care for a family member or friend in 2016.

The survey will ask you to tell what life is like now, and what needs to change.

This is the most extensive survey into carers’ experiences in the UK. As a result, it will take at least 20 – 30 minutes to complete – so grab a cup of tea and get comfy! Please note that this survey is for those caring unpaid for a disabled, older or seriously ill relative or friend.

You are able to skip some questions in the survey. However, the more information you give, the better the picture of how caring affects different people. Carers UK are really keen to hear about your experiences – good or bad – in as much detail as possible as this helps  paint a picture of what it is like to be a carer in 2016, so please use the comment boxes.

Any comments you leave would not be identified as yours unless you give us permission to contact you and get agreement. Your details will never be passed onto a third party.

Carers UK are so grateful to each and every person who takes the time to complete the survey and give us a full picture of their caring experience. We will publish the survey results later in the year.
