They will be! It is an anonymous survey with the option to add an email address at the end if someone wishes to hear about findings/new research. Any details that people give that could identify them will also be removed before anything is shared or written up.

Today, alongside DPAC, Scope and Rethink Mental Illness, we gave evidence at a Work and Pensions Select Committee on the impact of the proposed Green Paper cuts.

We were unequivocal: these cuts will lead to more deaths.
