  • Carers Week 8th–14th June 2009 – YouGov poll ranks carers alongside nurses and firefighters

    Recent News/Publications 12.06.2009 No Comments

    As part of Carers Week 2009 two new surveys have been published.

    A survey conducted by YouGov questioned over 2,000 members of the public about their beliefs and attitudes towards carers.

    The key finding was that the public rank carers alongside the emergency services in terms of their contribution to society. Six out of seven people (86%) believe that carers make a valuable contribution, behind only nurses (91%) and firefighters (90%).

    The overwhelming majority also agree that carers’ benefits are far too low, with over three-quarters (76%) stating that the current level of Carers’ Allowance is unreasonable.
