That’s why Shared Care Scotland, the national carer organisation with short breaks and respite at its core, is undertaking a comprehensive survey on unpaid carers’ experiences of short breaks and respite services in Scotland.

The survey will help the organisation understand the needs and experiences of carers which as they build a picture of short breaks and respite across Scotland.
