We are The Developing Child UK Priority Setting Partnership (PSP) run in collaboration with the James Lind Alliance (JLA).

We want to understand what matters most to parents, carers and people who work or volunteer with babies and children from pregnancy until they start school, in terms of babies' and children's social and emotional wellbeing.


How can you help?
We have a list of 17 questions that parents, carers and people who work/volunteer with babies and children aged 0-5 years told us they want to know more about. We now need your help to choose the questions from this list that matter most to you to shape future research into babies' and children's social and emotional wellbeing.

What is involved in helping?
  • Complete our short survey which starts by asking you a few questions about yourself
  • Read the list of questions and click any questions that you think are important to answer
  • Review the questions you clicked and select up to 10 questions you think are most important to answer
  • Finish the survey by answering a few more questions about yourself - which are optional for you
We think the survey will take about 15 minutes to complete.

What will happen to my responses?
Your choice of questions will help us to make a short list of questions which will be shared at a workshop where people representing parents, carers, people who work with babies and children aged 0-5 years, will agree the top 10 priority questions for future research focused on babies and children's social and emotional wellbeing. You can apply to join the workshop and details are provided at the end of the survey for this.

What about my data?
All data collected from this survey will be stored in a secure electronic format in accordance with GDPR. We will not share your personal details, and no individual information will be shared in the results.
