Thank you for your interest in taking part. The Social Marketing Gateway (SMG) are working with East Sussex County Council (ESCC) to carry out research around how to support people to pay for their care.
We want to speak to local people who receive Adult Social Care (ASC) arranged by East Sussex County Council, to gather their thoughts around paying for care. We are also interested in speaking with people who are the financial representative of someone else receiving ASC. Some examples of adult social care are: having a carer come into your home to support you, having telecare at home, visiting day centres, supported living or living in a residential or nursing home.
You can take part in this survey if you are over 16 years old, live in East Sussex, and either receive adult social care (as described above) or are the financial representative of someone receiving this care – if part or all of this care is invoiced by ESCC.
This is your chance to have your say about adult social care payments. This survey asks some questions about your experiences and opinions. There are no right or wrong answers and there will be no repercussions from what you tell us – the aim is simply to better understand what could support people in the area. Taking part in this survey is anonymous and confidential. As a thank you for taking part you can enter into our prize draw to win a £50 Amazon voucher by leaving your details, but there is no obligation to leave details or enter into the prize draw.
At the end of the survey, there is the option to take part in a follow-up research interview to give more detail on your views. Those who take part in interviews will be given a £40 voucher as a thank you. If you would like to sign up to take part in this, you will be asked to leave your contact details at the end of the survey so a member of the SMG team can get in touch and invite you to an interview (conducted either online, in person, or over the phone).
Your details are kept in the strictest confidence and we will not share these with anyone else. You will only be contacted by our team about this work and all of your information will be kept anonymous and remain confidential. SMG abide by GDPR guidelines and the MRS Code of Conduct.
