Can you help with this Direct Payment Survey from the National Direct Payment Forum?
The DP Forum are keen to gather information to capture the value of Direct Payments support services from the people that need and access that support. We have put together a brief online survey for DP recipients to complete, exploring their understanding of the support they need and have access to.
We hope to utilise the results, with partners at the Southwest DP provider network and others, to ensure the need for and value of DP support is better understood nationally.
Please pass the survey link (below) on to any groups or individuals you know who receive Direct Payment from adult social care, children's social care or the Integrated Care Board.
https://forms.office.com/e/myQ5b0V0M9
For information the survey will remain live for quite sometime as we want to maximise the data collected so there is no end date set.
Bon Voyage to Lauren!
