The Department engages regularly with people with disabilities for example through its strategic partners programme. Last summer, the Department commissioned Think Local Act Personal to survey the views of those using social care, including disabled people, through their partner organisations as part of an ongoing evaluation of the Care Act 2014\u2019s implementation. Think Local Act Personal are currently analysing the results of the survey for publication.<\/p>
