Please tell us your experiences of public services.
Carers Northern Ireland is carrying out research for the Northern Ireland Human Rights Commission to find out whether the current law, practice and policy in relation to carers meets their needs, what the gaps or problems are and what improvements could be made. From this research, we will write a report for the Commission which will help them understand how they might best work to improve carers' rights.
We urgently need you to tell us about your experiences of public services
Have you had difficulties in dealing with public authorities (such as hospitals, GPs, schools, social services) in relation to your caring responsibilities?
Are you a carer who may be affected by the upcoming changes to benefits?
Are you worried about how changes to health and social care provision will affect you?
Would you be willing to talk to us about your recent experiences?
Focus groups
We are organising one-off focus group discussions with carers between 16th and 20th September. We'd like to talk to carers of all ages and regardless of the age, health condition or disability of the people they caring for. All input will be received in strict confidence.
Participants will receive an information pack and we willcover reasonable travel and alternative care costs.
Get involved
If you'd like to get involved or find out more, please contact Helen Ferguson on 028 9043 9843 or email: reception@carersni.org.
