A survey for parents of children with additional support needs. We have launched this survey to gather views about additional support for learning. In particular, we would like to find out if there have been changes to the provision your child receives. Please take a couple of minutes to complete the questionnaire and share with anyone who you think might be interested. https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/2MSQ3YX

NPFS is looking for parents’ views on early learning and childcare. If you have children of preschool age, or have recent experience of this stage, then we would be grateful if you could take 5 minutes to complete our survey.
