Sandwell Carers Report 2019

Report - 14 June 2019

This project endeavored to engage with as many adult Carers as possible but especially those who do not necessarily identify as carers or those who are not currently accessing services to understand their needs in relation to support for carers.

This project made use of a survey that consisted mainly of closed, multiple choice questions, focus groups, and interviews. The surveys were hosted online but also made available as a paper copy to ensure that a wide range of Adult Carers were able to complete it. There were 190 valid responses to the survey. There were six focus groups undertaken across Sandwell. In total 17 participants took part in a focus group. In addition to this, there were 20 telephone interviews undertaken with people who are carers. The interviews used the semi-structured questions to allow participants to expand on their answers and Healthwatch facilitators to ask further questions to deepen understanding and clarify the answers given by the participants.
