Here’s just a few suggestions for actions you can take. We’ll be adding more over the coming weeks and we’d be happy to receive yours.
Write to your MP, MEP and, if you have one, devolved assembly member. Try using the excellent www.writetothem.com
Contact local newspapers, radio and TV stations. Tell them how the loss of AA or DLA care component would affect you and urge people to write to their MP.
Respond to the green paper by taking part in the consultation process. There are lots of places on the Big Care Debate website where you can have your say. All comments are moderated, so if you say anything especially rude or potentially defamatory it’s unlikely to be published. We suggest you either use the Executive Summary page here:
http://careandsupport.direct.gov.uk/greenpaper/execsum/
or the Having Your say page here:
http://careandsupport.direct.gov.uk/greenpaper/execsum/having-your-say/
You are asked to give your name and email address. Your name will be published on the site but your email address won’t. If you want more details about the confidentiality policy for this consultation you can find them on the Having your say page, under the sub-heading ‘Confidentiality of information’
Contact your local advice agencies, such as citizens advice bureau, DIAL’s and local authority welfare rights teams and ask them whether they will be responding to the green paper proposals.
Make sure the issue has been raised on relevant forums you visit.
Email anyone in your address book you think might be affected.
