Consultation of Carers for the College of Social Work

This report forms part of a national consultation of social workers, service users, carers and other stakeholders, aimed at informing the creation of the College of Social Work. Four methods of consultation took place, using similar sets of questions so that data could be compiled and compared: regional live consultation events, an online questionnaire, a postal questionnaire and a web-radio live consultation over three evenings. The project worked closely with the Princess Royal Trust for Carers (PRTC) to inform the development of the survey tools and assist in the recruitment of carers into all aspects of the consultation.
