The FamilyResourcesSurvey (FRS) is a continuous survey of private households and was commissioned by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP).
Adults eligible for inclusion in the survey are asked a wide range of questions about their circumstances including: income and state support, tenure and housing costs, assets and savings, occupation and employment, health and ability to work, pensions and insurance, and childcare and carers.
The survey was extended in 2001 to include the Scottish Islands and the area north of the Caledonian Canal.
We also recognize that there is a difference between family caregivers like you that have reached out to NFCA and other caregiver organizations and people who are providing real care to a loved one but don't recognize that they are family caregivers.
Survey information was gathered through a two-page questionnaire mailed to 400 family caregivers that volunteered to be part of NFCA's research effort.
Self-identified family caregivers believe that caregiving is an issue that is societal in nature and that legislative action is necessary to make things better — and we are willing to take some actions to make those changes occur.
