Department of Health and Social Care has commissioned Ipsos to undertake a drug and alcohol treatment and recovery workforce survey.

This is to understand the motivations and experiences of people working in the drug and alcohol treatment and recovery sector and how they can be better supported.

The results of this staff survey will be used to inform work relating to the DHSC’s 10-year strategic plan for the drug and alcohol treatment and recovery workforce (2024-2034), ultimately aiming to create an expanded, skilled and sustainable workforce.

The survey is now live, and we need your help in distributing this survey to your staff team.

Who is the survey for?

  • Individuals employed in local authority-funded drug and alcohol treatment and recovery roles in England, including community-based, inpatient, residential, and in-reach workers.
  • Anyone working in a lived experience recovery organisation (LERO)
  • People involved in local authority commissioning of drug and alcohol services.

Key points about the survey:

  • Takes approximately 15 minutes to complete
  • Will not collect names or employer details, and results shared with DHSC will be anonymised
  • Closes 24th January 2025
