Consultation into the home care of older people

Do you or does someone you know receive home care?

If you do or someone you know does then The Equality and Human Rights Commission is looking at how the human rights of older people (people over 65) are respected in home care. 

They need to gather the views of older people, their family and their friends about their experience of home care services. They want to hear from you about your experiences, positive or negative. It will only take about 15 minutes to complete the questionnaire and the evidence you give them will be vital in helping to make the Inquiry as comprehensive as possible.

To make sure your evidence informs the Inquiry report, please send it to them by 4 February 2011.

Go to their page and fill out the questionnaires online. You can also contact their helpline to request the questionnaires in alternative formats.
