Community Consultation

Thank you for taking part in our consultation.

This form is designed for parents/carers of children that attend our 1-2-1 and small group sessions.

As part of our review, it's really important to get your input regarding our community sessions - this will give us invaluable insight into what we need to consider going forwards.

Hopefully, the form won't take very long to complete - there are some statistical questions but also opportunity for you to tell us more in your own words.

Thank you again for your help.
