Care Support Independence

The Big Care Debate goes on the road this week, with Derby hosting the first public consultation roadshow.

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.

The first will take place in Derby Market Place. The Big Care Debate wagon will set up for three days, where people will have the chance to respond to the reform options set out in the Green Paper Shaping the Future of Care Together in a variety of ways.  

There will be a seating area where people can watch information videos and talk to Big Care Debate representatives, and a 1-2-1 area for those wishing to give their response in private.

They can fill in the Big Care Questionnaire, or add their comments on this website, via a touch screen computer system.

For those with less time to engage, there will be paper copies of the Big Care Questionnaire, our public leaflets and postcards. These can be filled in on the spot or taken away and posted later.  

The roadshows are a key part of the Government’s plan to engage with a range of stakeholders and citizens across England. This will help raise awareness of the issues contained in the Green Paper, and allow people to have their say on the major issues around reform of the adult care and support system and the creation of a new National Care Service.

A full schedule of roadshow events will appear on this website shortly.
