ABOUT THE SURVEY

The Orkney Partnership is asking for the views of families with experience of hardship and disadvantage.

If you do not have responsibility for children there is no need for you to complete this survey.


You can complete the online survey or download and print this 4 page PDF version. In this case, please return your completed survey in a sealed envelope to Anna Whelan at Orkney Islands Council - you can post it, or drop into the Council letterbox if more convenient. If you'd like a paper copy sent to you, please email community.planning@orkney.gov.uk with your name and address.

You can ask for support from local organisations to help you complete the survey - these can be found in the support summary document, available for download here. Some of these organisations will also be able to offer you help with managing money.

In addition, a new resource has recently been published on
 where to get help in Orkney:
