Building a picture of social care experiences
From summer 2019 we will use SenseMaker® to collect more stories from people across Wales and, through these, build a picture of how social care feels for the individuals involved in it. We want to hear from people all of ages, with all kinds of experiences - these could be good, bad, okay, they might be significant experiences, or quite small ones and they might be long stories, or short fragments. We want to hear from carers as well as people who receive care and support.
The findings from the story-gathering will help inform a second Citizens’ Jury to be held in summer 2020. The Jury will examine a key issue and through examining evidence and questioning witnesses, they will reach conclusions and provide recommendations that they will present to Welsh Government.
All the project’s activity will contribute to Welsh Government’s 3-year evaluation of the Act and their understanding of people's experiences of social care. We will be sharing our progress and findings throughout the year.
