Introduction

The London Borough of Barnet’s Family Services would like to gather your views about your experience in care. Listening to the voices of children and young people is important to us. This questionnaire has been completed using the five priorities outlined in the Pledge for Children in Care and Care Leavers.

The Pledge was designed by children and young people for children and young people, with the five priorities being;

•           a good education
•           feeling a sense of belonging
•           keeping healthy
•           staying safe
•           championing your needs.

We would like to gather your views and opinions so that we can tell decision makers how things can improve and what is currently good within the service. 

We believe that this is an important opportunity for you to have your say and influence the decisions being made that affect you. By taking part in this survey you will be having a major input into improving the services you, as well other children and young people in care receive.

We really appreciate you taking part in this questionnaire, but please feel free to skip any questions you feel uncomfortable with. If you would like this questionnaire in an alternative format please contact with us, or ask your carer to get in contact with us at haveyoursay@barnet.gov.uk or call Voice of the Child team on 020 8359 2202 or 020 8359 3156 and we will be able to put something in place to accommodate your needs.

Thank you for getting involved.
