Peer Support Workers

The purpose of the census is to provide a comprehensive profile of peer support workers workforce working within mental health services across England.

The outputs will provide details of the size of the workforce, its levels of training and education, and its diversity in terms of age, gender, ethnicity, and disability status.

The scope includes all peer support workers staff working in NHS commissioned mental health services within NHS mental health trusts, independent, and voluntary sectors in England.

Peer Support Workers Staff Survey

We are excited to invite PSWs to take part in this year’s staff survey, a key opportunity to share their voice and shape the future of peer support work. This will allow us to have insight from those who live the experience every day. Help us build a clearer picture of what it’s like to be a peer support worker!
