There are several ways to take part, including an online survey and a paper version which you can download, complete and submit. If you're on Facebook, you can befriend CAPS Advocacy.

CAPS is also encouraging people to hold focus groups in their local area. They can provide the consultation questions, ideas on how to present your response, publicity, as well as travel and refreshment expenses. Volunteers would run the group, collect the information and send it back to them.

CAPS are also running their own focus groups in Edinburgh on 21st December, 11th January and 18th January.
