Survey for Parents, Careers & Primary School Staff
Help us strengthen supports for children experiencing family change.
We’re asking parents, carers, and primary school staff to take part in two short, anonymous surveys:
- Parents & Carers Survey
- Primary School Staff Survey
Your insights will guide the creation of new national guidelines to better support children living through parental separation, divorce, or shared parenting.
This research is being carried out by One Family and The Separation Network, funded by the What Works initiative under the Department of Children, Disability and Equality
