Whether you use adult social care, care for someone else who does, work in the sector or have views on how care could work in the future, now is the time to get involved and contribute to the Big Conversation on Care.
This nationwide public consultation is now open and as many people as possible are encouraged to take part and get involved.
The consultation asks respondents to vote on a series of proposals and statements. Everything from whose views should be taken into consideration, who should be able to get support from government, how or whether people should be taxed to pay for social care, how we can attract people into the caring profession and much more.
Those responding are also give the opportunity to share their own ideas or proposals for change. All of the results will be fed into this nationwide consultation which is part of the Independent Commission – being led by Dame Louise Casey – looking to make significant improvements to Adult Social Care in the UK.

Cllr Del Arnall, Knowsley Council Cabinet Member for Adult Social Care commented:
“It’s really important for residents here in Knowsley to have their say as part of this consultation. Their views and opinions on everything from who care should be for, to how it is delivered and paid for will be really valued.
Changes to adult social care are a major priority for the Government currently and therefore we have a real opportunity to use our experiences to shape future services and support – for the better.”
