NHS Surrey in partnership with Surrey Young Carers is launching a consultation to research the impact that caring has on young carers’ health. The consultation will be launched at the Young Carers Forum on the 24th July 2012 and will run for 3 months.
An online survey has been co designed with partners, simple click the link below to start. The questions only take a few moments to answer and are confidential. This means that we will not be able to identify responses by name or personal details.
The 2008 National Carers Strategy 'Carers at the Heart of 21st Century families and Communities‛ acknowledges that many young carers may experience problems with their physical and mental health due to their caring role. Responses from the survey will help improve our understanding of how caring impacts on the health of young carers and will make recommendations to commissioners of young carers’ services here in Surrey
A report on the findings will be published in December 2012 and available to view on Surrey Young Carers website and Carersnet.
