Warwickshire County Council seeking views on health and wellbeing in your area
A survey has been launched by Warwickshire County Council (WCC) to find out more about the health and wellbeing outcomes, and the factors that affect them,
Warwickshire County Council (WCC) and public sector partners recognise that the needs of different communities throughout the county will vary depending on issues such as the population age, infrastructure, community safety, jobs, housing and many more.
To understand this more fully the survey forms part of a larger project to gain more insight into life in Warwickshire’s communities called the Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (“JSNA”). and together with other data the survey results will feed into a local needs assessment, which will lead to recommendations for improving local health and wellbeing.
All of this available information will be used by WCC and its partners when commissioning new services or reviewing existing ones., additionally the information will also be available to local voluntary and community groups, to support funding applications to support the community
Please take the opportunity to complete the survey and help to inform this important piece of work by following this link
