Do you wonder what is important for babies and young children?
Would you like to know what affects their social and emotional wellbeing?
Do you have questions that need answering?
Maybe you’ve looked for answers and not found them?
Perhaps there is research that still needs to be done.
The Developing Child UK Priority Setting Partnership (PSP), run by Supporting Early Minds in collaboration with the James Lind Alliance, is asking parents and caregivers, practitioners, commissioners and policymakers to share the key questions you believe future research should answer. Your voice matters in making sure research funding addresses the most important priorities.
Kieran Anders, Dad Matters lead at Home-Start, explains more about the survey in this video:
This short survey invites you to share any questions, concerns, or uncertainties about how children’s social and emotional development is supported – including the services, people, and approaches involved. There is one survey for parents and caregivers and another for people who work or volunteer with babies and young children.
Those who complete the survey will be entered in a prize draw for a chance to win one of forty £25 vouchers.
