Hello Parents, a major part of Parenting NI's work is ensuring that the views, issues and concerns of parents in Northern Ireland are heard. We are asking you to take part in our anonymous "Big Parenting Survey" 2024. This survey will give you a chance to tell us about your experiences, the high points and the struggles. This will help shape the work of Parenting NI to reflect the genuine feelings and challenges that you may face and ensure that our programmes tackle these challenges. The results of this survey will also help us to lobby and campaign for change for a better Northern Ireland for all our families, children and young people. 

 By "Parents" we mean anyone in a "parenting role", and who has parental responsibilities. It should take no more than 10 minutes to complete, if you don’t want to answer a question, you can skip to the next one or you can withdraw from the survey at any point, although we would encourage you to complete the survey in full.

Parenting NI takes data protection and information security very seriously. We will not share your personal information with any other organisation. More information is available at https://www.parentingni.org/privacy-policy/

This survey will close at 5pm on the 26th Feb. If you have questions about the survey, please contact Emma by email at emma.hitchen@parentingni.org or phone 02890 310891. Thank you for your time and support. To start the survey please click 'OK'.
