Family Support Services Survey

Focusing on families is your chance to share your views and ideas on improving family support services in Northern Ireland. 

This survey will inform the family support strategy in Northern Ireland, and we want to hear the views of children, young people and parents/carers as well as practitioners. This short, anonymous survey covers five key areas:

  • Purpose of family support services
  • Core values
  • Most valued types of support
  • Future service models
  • Making a difference to families

Children and Family Charter – Tell us what you think

We want to create a Children and Family Charter for Northern Ireland to help children, young people and families understand their rights, know what to expect from services and support staff to work in the best way for them. 

The model for the Children and Family Charter is based on four key parts:

  • Standards
  • Support
  • Share
  • Speak up

By taking part in the survey, young people can help shape how the Charter is made and shared.

Questions? Email: info@statsandstories.co.uk 

This consultation is open to anyone who may have a view — including children, young people, parents, carers, staff, professionals, and policymakers.
We particularly encourage you to share this with children, young people, and parents/carers.
