Have Your Say survey

This annual survey is your chance to share your experience of working in social care.

Just like we’ve done in previous years, we're asking you to answer questions about things like your health and well-being, pay and conditions, and how you feel about working in the sector.

We want as many people as possible to complete the short survey, across a wide range of social care roles.

The survey will close on 4 March.

Telling us what you think will help shape the support we and our partners offer, so don’t miss your chance to have your say.

Everyone who completes the survey will have a chance to enter a draw to win a £50 shopping voucher.

We’ve commissioned a team of independent researchers based at Cardiff University’s Centre for Adult Social Care Research and Social Science Research Park to carry out this work.

Cardiff University School of Sciences Research Ethics Committee has given this work ethical approval.

All of your answers will be anonymous and we’ll share the findings on our website after the results have been analysed.

We’ve developed a range of assets to support you to promote the survey in your workplace.

We'd be very grateful for your help in spreading the word about the survey among your staff and colleagues.

We recently announced the results of our 2025 survey, which found that well-being had improved but that anxiety was still high.

We've also used the findings of the previous surveys to create briefings that summarise and highlight key information about the social care workforce in Wales.
