Family of C&YP Survey: Social Emotional and Mental Health Difficulties

This is a joint survey done by Achieving for Children and PaCiP

The RBWM is looking to develop its services and provision to support Children and Young People who have Social Emotional Mental Health (SEMH) needs. As a part of this process, we would like to hear from children and young people about their experiences in school : what were the challenges they faced and also, what would have helped them or did help them.

Please share your thoughts with us as it is so important that your voices are heard.

Deadline: 31th May 2021
