Leicestershire County Council is thinking about making changes to the way it charges for adult social care services and it wants to know what carers think.

The Council says the changes will help it create a better way of charging in the future, so it can meet its financial targets in a sensible way without reducing services.

It also wants to make sure people are charged in a fairer way, based on their personal circumstances.

The Council has ideas for changes in four areas - non-residential services, housing related support, extra care housing and assitive technology.

You can have your say on the Council's plans until the 26th August.

To find out more and to fill in an online questionnaire visit the Council's website. It'll take around 10 minutes to complete and if you prefer you can download or request a printed, Easy Read, Large Print or Very Large Print version of the questionnaire via the website.
