Current Consultations

Start of consultation: 10 Aug 2018
End of consultation: 14 Sep 2018

Background:
The Isle of Wight Council and the IW Clinical Commissioning Group are currently reviewing the way in which sensory services are provided. There is a need to make sure the service is high quality and helps people to maintain and improve their independence both now and in the future.

Consultation Activity:

Island residents who have a sight, hearing or other sensory impairment are being asked to help shape support services on the Isle of Wight by commenting on the sensory service survey.

The online survey, which is also available in a hard copy, seeks views from Islanders who use the current sensory service. People with a current sensory loss registration will be sent a survey in the post. The survey can be returned by post, or alternatively it can be completed online using the following link: https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/5WZ5LVY

People Matter IW will be able to support people who wish to complete the survey over the phone on (01983) 241494. Hard copies are also available on request from People Matter IW.
