Introduction

Are you a family and friends carer i.e. are you bringing up a child who is not your son or daughter but is connected to you e.g. a grandchild, sibling or friend’s child.

This survey will help address research and policy gaps about family and friends care and will enable you to have a say in the support available to family and friends carers. Every carers’ experience is valuable: negative or positive. We know you are likely to be very busy but if you could spare some time to fill in our on-line survey we would be very grateful. <LINK="#0000FF">Family Rights Group</LINK="#0000FF">, and other organisations working with and on behalf of family and friends carers, will use the findings in our campaigning to secure a better deal for family and friends carers. However you will not be identifiable from any information we share, or make public.

If you’d like us to keep you informed on family and friends carers news and developments and to qualify to win a thank you prize for completing the survey, then don’t forget to include your contact details in Section E.
