Caring for Care Givers in Gateshead

Report - 22 December 2022

This survey was developed by Healthwatch Gateshead to help Gateshead Council understand the experiences of care givers (unpaid carers) as we come out of the Covid 19 pandemic.

The survey was based on a questionnaire which was available as both an online and 
paper-based versions. It was widely publicised across the Borough at local sites, via 
organisations (charities and voluntary sector) which might have contact with care 
givers, and over local radio.
