We want to hear from local care workers about what it’s really like to work in care.
Care work is incredibly important, but it can also be challenging.
We know people doing the job every day have valuable knowledge about what works well and what could be better.
But too often, care workers are not asked for their views. And that's exactly why we want to hear from you.
Tell us what you value about working in care, the challenges you face, and what changes would help make care services better for both staff and the people you support.
All responses are anonymous.
