Social Care Wales has launched its third annual Have Your Say survey of the social care workforce!
The survey gives all those working in the social care sector in Wales a unique opportunity to answer questions about things like their health and well-being, pay and conditions, and what they like about working in the sector.
There is no need to prepare for the Have Your Say survey and it will take about 15 minutes to complete.
The responses generate an excellent insight into the social care sector and help inform the support offered by Social Care Wales and its partners. They also highlight important issues to policy makers in Welsh Government.
The survey will be open until 7 March. Complete the survey now online.
The results of the 2024 survey were announced back in October 2024 and the results for the 2025 survey will be shared later this year.
Social Care Wales has commissioned Buckinghamshire New University, Bath Spa University and the British Association of Social Workers to help carry out this work, having worked with the same group of partners to deliver the survey last year.
Everyone who completes the survey will have a chance to enter a draw to win a £20 shopping voucher.
Sarah McCarty, Social Care Wales Chief Executive, said:
“This survey is your opportunity to make your voice heard by telling us about your experiences of working in social care in Wales.
“More than 5,000 people responded to last year’s survey. Thank you to all of you who took the time to respond.
“Your responses highlighted your commitment to making a difference to people’s lives, and your dedication to individuals and their families is clear.
“But you also raised some really important issues that we’re working in partnership to help address.
“You can find out more about the steps we’re taking together in the social care workforce delivery plan, or in the Minister for Children and Social Care’s written response to last year’s findings.
“We know that you’re busy, your time is precious and that completing a survey won’t be a priority. But taking the time to tell us what you think will help us and our wider partners to respond to the needs of the workforce more effectively.
“Please don’t miss your chance to have your say. “
