Care Support Independence

The schedule of Big Care Debate public roadshows, where  members of the public can discuss and have their say on the reform of adult social care and support in England, is now available.

Between now and mid November, members of the public will get the opportunity to join the debate on the future of care and support in England through a series of events held in town centres and at other public events around the country.

Visitors to the roadshows can watch information videos and talk to Big Care Debate representatives, and there is a 1-2-1 area for those wishing to give their response in private. People can fill in questionnaires, or add their comments on this website, via a touch screen computer system.

The roadshows are part of the Government’s drive to engage with a range of people from across England, through a regional programme which also involves a series of regional stakeholder events.
