VOCAL commissioned Scotinform to undertake its biennial survey of carers in Edinburgh and Midlothian in November 2017.
The surveys aimed to assess carers’ satisfaction with VOCAL services currently offered, ask about interest in other potential services and developments, understand VOCAL’s impact and to understand the impact of caring in three main areas of health and wellbeing, money and work, and time away from caring.
Over 10,300 surveys sent out to carers in Edinburgh (7,984) and Midlothian (2,291). There was a 12% return rate for Edinburgh and 13% for Midlothian, making a total of 1,228 responses.
Carers’ responses have been analysed and the findings are outlined in the reports below:
