Firstly, I’d like to thank all the carers that took time out of their very busy lives to share their experiences with us about what it is like to provide care and support to someone in their own home.
We are currently reading through everything you told us before we publish a detailed report, with recommendations on what needs to change, in the new year.

But from what we’ve read so far, we’re struck by the sheer determination shown by carers over the last few months to do their very best for their clients in incredibly difficult circumstances.
