Carers UK gathers hard evidence about what needs to change. We use this to influence health, social care, employment, social inclusion and other areas of government.
- Carers UK conducts surveys directly with carers about how caring impacts on their lives, whether policies make a real difference and to help us shape our campaign priorities.
- We work with research partners such as Leeds University to improve knowledge about who carers are and how their lives are affected.
- Carers UK' s research programme is helping gain a fuller understanding of how caring impacts on people's lives and find evidence based policy solutions which will help reduce poverty, ill health and social exclusion of carers.
