First of all, thank you for helping us with this short survey. Your participation will help us in our work with policy makers, including Welsh Government Ministers.

For the past 4 years, Children in Wales has conducted a survey and published a report of our findings : ‘Child and Family Poverty in Wales: A snapshot of key issues raised by families’.   We are repeating the survey for 2019 to give us an up to date picture of poverty in Wales and to identify trends over the four year period.  Figures published by End Child Poverty UK in January 2019 show that 29% of all children in Wales are living in poverty, with this figure being much higher in some areas.   Children are said to be living in poverty if they live in families with an income below 60% of the median income.  Common poverty related problems were intensified for lone parent families, families with a disabled child or parent, large families and families living in rural communities.

Completing the Survey

We are keen to hear from you, to help us understand the main poverty related issues currently facing children and families in Wales today.   We have list 16 different poverty related topics, which have been highlighted in previous surveys and we would like you to identify the top 5 that you believe have the biggest impact on children and families and then explain why you have chosen those issues.

We are especially keen to get responses that demonstrate how poverty affects children and families in Wales today.  If you have, and are able to share any case examples from practice, to support your answers, we would also be very keen to receive these.  Please anonymise any examples you share.

How much has changed in the past year?

We are interested to know whether you believe the situation has got better or worse over the past year, or whether nothing has changed.  We would like to hear about both positive and negative changes, or where there has been little or no change.

The survey is open until Friday 1st November.  A report on the results of the survey will be published in early 2020.
