Consultations

Joint Service
It is really important for us to hear what you think about our services and our plans for the future.
 
When there are specific consultations happening, we will put information and links on this page so that you can tell us what you think...
 
 
 
 
 
 

This is about paying towards support at home or in your community.
 
The Government has asked us to look at the way we charge people for the support they get.   
 
We want to make this as fair as possible so we are asking you what you think…
 
How can I find out more?
At the bottom of the page there is a presentation called 'Paying towards support' which tells you more about why we are making changes.
 
How can I say what I think?
We really want to know what you think.  At the bottom of the page there is a 'Paying towards support' questionnaire with 6 questions for you to tell us what you think.  You might want to ask someone to help you to fill in the questionnaire.
 
Please send us your answers by 5 May 2010

This new strategy is about making carers' lives better.  We want to make sure we know who they are.  We want to recognise and value their contribution to society.
 
Who is a Carer?
A carer is someone who spends a lot of their time providing support to family or friends.  They don't get paid for doing this. 
 
How Many People are Carers?
In Sheffield, 1 person out of every 10 is a carer.  There are lots of carers that we don't know about.
