Introduction

Global Community Resourcing is undertaking an international survey in conjunction with the UK Carers Association.

This survey is designed to gauge public attitudes to using technology for older people and people with a disability. This survey will be used to inform discussions with governments, decision makers and funders. We hope it will also assist in planning for future services and support.

This survey should take approximately 10 minutes to complete.

Thank you for your time and willingness to participate in this survey. It will greatly assist us in planning the most appropriate services.
