1/ “It’s not only the impact on them, but on the carers as well” Tom and Alison’s story featured in the Inquiry's Module 6 Impact Film, shown on the first day of Module 6 public hearings in June 2025.
1/ Module 6 ‘Care Sector’ examined the impact of the pandemic on the adult social care sector across all four nations of the UK. The Inquiry will publish its Module 6 report this autumn.

When people think of adult social care and the pandemic, care homes often come to mind. But the majority of care in the UK takes place in people's own homes - delivered by care workers and by millions of unpaid carers.
During our ‘Care Sector’ (Module 6) hearings, we heard about the impact the pandemic had on unpaid carers. Their stories are an important part of our investigation. Read this news story to find out more 👇 covid19.public-inquiry.uk/news/carers-... #CarersWeek
