Email from Barnsley Council explaining their Strength and Needs Assessment Parent and Carers Survey
As part of our family hubs and start for life programme of work we are undertaking a local strengths and needs assessment. We want every Barnsley family to receive the support they need when they need it. We’d like to know what families think are the strengths of local services, and what needs improving, so we have asked Qa Research, an independent social research company, to carry out a survey.
I am emailing to ask you to help us in getting as many parents and carers including expectant parents and carers to complete the survey as possible.
Families can give their views here https://bit.ly/3Zntzx4 All responses are confidential and will be reported anonymously. I have also attached word version for those who find it more accessible or where they don’t have access to the internet.
The key information is below.
- We’re asking Barnsley parents and carers to help inform and improve the services we commission for local families and your views are really important to us.
- All families need support from time to time to help their babies and children thrive, whether that’s from friends, family, volunteers, or practitioners.
- Our ambition is for every family to receive the support they need when they need it.
- All families should have access to the information and tools they need to care for and interact positively with their babies and children, and to look after their own wellbeing.
- To help us make sure the services we commission in Barnsley achieve our ambition and meet the needs of our local families we would like to gather the views of parents and carers (and parents-to-be) on services for children, young people and their families in our borough.
- We’d like to know what families think are the strengths of local services, and what needs improving, so we have asked Qa Research, an independent social research company, to carry out a survey.
- The survey is available to fill in until Sunday 14 May at https://surveys.qaresearch.co.uk/Barnsleyparents.asp
- All responses are confidential and will be reported anonymously.
- Everyone who responds has the chance to be entered into a free prize draw to win one of three prizes of high street e-vouchers
In order for this to be meaningful we need as many responses as possible, could I please ask for your help and support to get this out as far and wide as possible over the next 2 weeks.
If you are a parent or carer yourself or are an expectant parent or carer and live in Barnsley then please complete the survey too to share your views.
Kind Regards
