Were you a carer during the pandemic? Join over 5,400 people across Scotland who have shared experiences of the pandemic with Let’s Be Heard
Let’s Be Heard, the Scottish COVID-19 Inquiry’s participation project, needs to hear more about the experiences of carers and health and social care workers in Scotland during the pandemic. What you tell the Let’s Be Heard team will help inform the Inquiry’s investigations, its reports and, ultimately, its recommendations to Scottish Ministers.
It is essential Let’s Be Heard hear more from carers in Scotland, to better understand the unequal impacts of the pandemic and learn any lessons for the future.
Across these audiences, Let’s Be Heard are particularly interested in hearing more from:
- Health care workers
- Social care workers
- Those who provide care in their communities
- Unpaid carers
- Minority ethnic carers
It is also important that we hear more from those living and working in rural and island communities.
If you wish to share your experiences, please visit the Let’s Be Heard website, where you can learn more about ways in which you can contribute through participation in online drop-in sessions or if you are unable to attend, please do complete our online form.
If you have any questions, you can contact the team by:
- emailing LetsBeHeard@covid19inquiry.scot;
- leaving a voicemail at 0808 175 5555; or
- writing to us at Freepost SCOTTISH COVID-19 INQUIRY.
