Welcome to Suffolk’s Annual Parent Carer Survey 2026.
This survey is a chance for parents, carer, and guardians across Suffolk to say:
- What it’s like to be a parent carer in Suffolk.What you think about support available to parents, carers and guardians.
- How you feel about support for children and young people with SEND or support needs.
- How well schools, the NHS, and Suffolk County Council meet your family’s needs.
This survey is independently hosted by Knowing Works CIC on behalf of Suffolk County Council, which has commissioned the work. The Local Area Partnership (LAP), which includes Suffolk Council, the NHS and local SEND support groups, will use feedback from this survey to influence and improve existing and future services.
Taking part in the survey is entirely voluntary, and you do not have to answer any questions that you do not want to. It is likely to take at least 10 minutes to complete, so make sure you have a little bit of time available when you start.
We will not ask for your name or contact details, but if you include personal information (such as names) in your responses, it may be possible to identify you. Our team will remove personal information like this before our data is analysed.
Knowing Works CIC will provide the results of the survey in a public report which will be shared with the Local Area Partnership. This may include anonymous quotes from your feedback.
If you need help to respond to the survey, or would like to receive it in another format (e.g easy read), please call freephone 0800 448 8234 or email research@knowingworks.co.uk.
The anonymous survey is not an appropriate way to raise safeguarding concerns. If you believe a child or adult is at risk of harm in Suffolk, please call Customer First on 0808 800 4005.
