Calling all parents!

What impact has the recession had on you and your family?

In this survey we are trying to gain the views of as many parents as possible about how you are coping in the recession. We want to find out what changes you have had to make in your household or perhaps you have not felt any impact yet? We really want to hear your views so please have a look through the survey and answer as many questions as are relevant to you.

Apart from the details about your family, all the questions are optional so please take a look. Any material used will remain anonymous and any names used in the text will be changed. By taking part in this survey you are giving permission for extracts to be used in our work to help other parents.

This survey should only take a few minutes to complete. Thank you for taking the time to take part; your experience can help other parents.

If you require any further support you will get a secure confidential response via our email support or if you feel the matter is urgent you can ring our free*, confidential, 24-hour Parentline on 0808 800 2222.
