At Contact, we want to make sure families of disabled children and those with additional needs can access the support they need, wherever they live in the UK. 

We are currently reviewing how parents access services in Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. We want to understand what works, what could be improved, and whether parents feel their voices are heard and understood enough in policy making. Your experience really matters and will help shape our work. 

We are asking parent carers to take a short survey (5–10 minutes, mostly tick-box or multiple-choice questions) about: 

  • Where you go for advice and support.
  • What support you need or would like to see.
  • How well informed you feel about policies and rights for families with disabled children in your country.
  • How well you think politicians and decision makers understand the challenges families face.
  • What more could be done to make sure parent voices are heard and acted on.

The survey is anonymous. Every response helps us push for better support and stronger parent carer voices in Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. 

If you care for a child or young person with disabilities or additional needs and live in Scotland, Wales, or Northern Ireland, we would love to hear from you.
