Consultations
As a service user led organisation, Headway is keen to represent our members by responding to Government proposals on major issues such as welfare, social care and health reform.
One of the ways we do this is by responding to official consultations.
You can view the consultations we are responding to below, get information on how to participate, and in some cases read Headway's response. Some of the consultations on this page are now closed, but where this is the case you can read Headway's response and view more information about the proposed changes.
