Parental voice and participation – survey to complete
As part of a Welsh Government funded project Children in Wales is gathering information on what is currently available across Wales to support parents’ voice and participation* on matters concerning children and young people.
*Participation means people being involved in decisions that affect their lives, being given the opportunity to ‘have say’ and influence change*
This information will enable them to begin developing an infrastructure to support parents and develop ‘A Wales wide system/platform for gathering parents’ views, offering a two-way approach to enable an avenue for parents’ voices to be heard and to feed into policy development.’
Please can you take the time to complete this short survey and also circulate widely to allow them to gather as much information as possible. Children in Wales are looking to gather responses from Health Boards, Regional Partnership Boards, Local Authorities and Third Sector partners across a range of disciplines.
Thank you for your time and support with this project.
Annual child and family poverty survey 2022
Each year, Children in Wales conduct their Annual Child and Family Poverty Survey. The information you provide is important and helps to understand more about the effects and experiences of child poverty in Wales.
Last year the 2021 Report on the survey findings were widely disseminated and have since been used to raise awareness, influence and inform practice and policy, both at a local and a national level.
Your voices and experiences can, and do make a difference.
Share my vision
Completing the Nature and Us Survey or taking part in one of our national webinars are two great ways to get involved in the national conversation about the future of Wales’ natural environment. We also want to hear your personal stories, and your vision for the future you would like to see.
On this page, you can tell us about your connection with nature and why you feel that looking after our environment is important. You can share written documents, poetry, images and videos that you feel describe your vision for the natural environment. For example, you could write a story about a time you have connected with nature. Or get creative and take or draw a picture that shows how you would like the environment to be in the future. Or share some thoughts on how you think our relationship with the natural environment should change – whatever is right for you.

Impact of the waiting times backlog on people in Wales who are waiting for diagnosis or treatment
The waiting lists for diagnostic and therapy appointments and surgical treatment in Wales have significantly increased during the COVID-19 pandemic. The equivalent of around 1 in 5 of the Welsh population is on an NHS waiting list, and around 37 per cent of people waiting to start treatment have been waiting over 9 months.
The Health and Social Care Committee is holding a short inquiry into the impact of the waiting times backlog on people in Wales who are waiting for diagnosis or treatment.
- The Committee is considering in particular:
- The services in place for people who are waiting for diagnostics and treatment, particularly pain management support.
- Access to psychological therapies and emotional support for those who may be experiencing anxiety or distress as a result of long waiting times.
- The contribution the third sector can make in providing peer support and information to patients waiting on an NHS waiting list.
- The effectiveness of messaging and engagement with the public about the demands on the service and the importance of seeking care promptly.
- The extent to which inequalities exist in the elective backlog, with deprived areas facing disproportionately large waiting lists per head of population compared to least deprived areas.
- Plans to fully restore planned NHS care in Wales.

Help us make a difference to Youth Work in Wales
Our Journey
Youth Cymru is at the start of a new journey; much has changed over the last few months for all of us and as an organisation whose primary aim is to benefit the lives of young people we want to take action now to ensure the best outcomes for young people in Wales. Our current strategy needs renewing and this is an opportunity to ensure our future work reflect the future landscape, the context and needs of young people, youth workers and youth organisations in Wales.

We will be sending out questionnaires and invitation to workshops and seminars but would equally welcome a telephone call, email or communication through our social media.
Over the coming months, we will be creating multiple opportunities to continue the conversation about our future direction, our relationship with you our partners, members and colleagues and the work we need to do to support you. Help us to shape our new strategy for 2021 and beyond!
We invite you to take part in this period of development as much as you can; to begin the conversation please complete this questionnaire below and look out for forth coming invitations to attend our seminars and workshop

Coronavirus and Me Survey launched January 2021
Children in Wales is continuing to work in partnership with the Children’s Commissioner for Wales, Welsh Government and the Welsh Youth Parliament on the second phase of the Coronavirus and Me – Nationwide survey for children and young people in Wales, launched on 20 January 2021.
The Early Childhood Education and Care COVID-19 Impact Study
The research is being carried out by staff at Swansea University, School of Education in conjunction with the national umbrella organisation ‘Children in Wales’.
Follow this link to undertake the survey.
The survey will close on the 4th December.
We are looking for input from people who work in the early years sector (with children aged 0-8) — practitioners, childcare workers, setting managers, and teachers — to tell us about their experiences of working during the pandemic.
We wish to better understand the impact of the changes that have been made, as well as practitioner perceptions of these changes; we focus on the impact of coronavirus on early years provision, practitioners and children. The findings from this research will be used to better inform emerging policy and practice across the four nations of the UK, to better understand and support settings and schools in dealing with current and future events of this kind.
Make your Mark
Make your Mark is an opportunity for 11-18 year olds across the UK to have their say and begin their democratic journey by voting on the policies they want to introduce or change.
The issues you vote as the most important will be debated by Members of Youth Parliament. They will campaign to influence the UK Parliament and their local representatives, ensuring that the views of young people are listened to by decision makers.
This is your opportunity to influence decision makers who can make a real difference on the issues that matter to you. Make Your Mark is one of the most important and influential ways young people can take part in a democratic process.
You have until 30th November to cast your vote!
Topics Include:
- Support our Mental Health
- Free University
- Tackle Child Poverty
- Stop Plastic Pollution
- Increase Racial Awareness in the Curriculum
- Take Action on the Climate Emergency
- Votes at 16

Survey of children’s social services and care rates in Wales
We really value your commitment to helping us bridge the gap between research, practice, and policy. This is why we are calling on you. If you work in children’s social care, we need your views and opinions on social care practice in Wales.
The survey will take 15 minutes of your time, but your contribution will be invaluable to helping us to understand stark variations in the numbers of children in care between local authorities. Plus, you will be entered into a prize draw with other members in your local authority to win £250 for a children’s charity of your choice.
About the study
The number of children in care in Wales has increased in recent years, and there are differences between rates among local authorities. Evidence suggests that a significant proportion of this variation is the result of differences in practice. Our aim is to understand factors influencing practice from the “ground up” including differences between local authorities. This survey is designed for social workers, managers, and senior social services managers in Wales.
This study is funded by the Welsh Government and carried out by the Children’s Social Care Research and Development Centre (CASCADE) and the Wales Centre for Public Policy (WCPP) at Cardiff University.
Your responses will be anonymous and individual local authorities will not be identified in our final report. Thank you in anticipation, we can’t wait to hear your thoughts to help us make a better future for children in Wales.

Impact of COVID-19 on the language development of infants aged 8-18 months, and aged 18-36 months
This is a Cardiff University project in connection with the outbreak of the Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) and the measures on quarantine and social distancing implemented by the UK health authorities on 23.03.2020. As parents, we are often interested in following the development of our children and finding out how they have learned at various points in the early years of life. Understanding what children know and how they learn is also important for researchers interested in understanding their development. In this research project, we want to investigate how quarantine and social distancing can affect language development in children aged 8-36 months.
The questionnaire is for parents with children learning English as their main language, and there is going to be a follow-up questionnaire conducted when quarantine measures have ceased. Participate in the survey.
Qualifications Wales launches consultation on grading for summer 2020
Qualifications Wales today publishes a consultation document setting out how, in the absence of exams, this year’s GCSE, AS and A level grades will be standardised across the country and how the appeals process will work. The regulator wants all interested parties to examine its proposals and submit their views before the new arrangements are finalised.
“Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures. Summer 2020 will be proof of that on so many fronts, including education,” said Chief Executive Philip Blaker.
“Given the decision to close schools and cancel exams as a result of the coronavirus pandemic, establishing new arrangements for this summer is essential to enable learners to receive their grades fairly so that they are able to progress to the next stage of their lives, whether that is further study, training or employment.”
Grades will be based on centres’ judgements of each learner’s attainment, which will then be standardised across centres drawing on a range of other evidence. The consultation is seeking views on two key aspects of arrangements for summer 2020.
The consultation is seeking views on two key aspects of arrangements for summer 2020:
- The aims which will underpin the statistical standardisation model that will be used for the award of grades for learners taking the affected qualifications. This will be developed and used by WJEC to ensure that grades submitted by centres across Wales are judged at the same level.
- The specific appeals process that is needed for the 2020 summer exam series given that papers will not be marked in the usual way.
This consultation covers GCSEs, AS and A levels and the Welsh Baccalaureate Skills Challenge Certificate that are developed in Wales by WJEC and regulated by Qualifications Wales. The consultation is open from Tuesday 28 April and closes at 5pm on Wednesday 13 May 2020. Full details, including how to respond, can be found on the Qualifications Wales website.

Social media in social work: A research survey
Social media is surrounded by ethical dilemmas and ongoing questions in Social Work practice. As part of my Masters dissertation in Social Work at Cardiff University, I am conducting a short, 5-minute survey. It is an online questionnaire looking at social media use in Social Work and asks questions in relation to how professionals are using social media, examining some of the ethical dilemmas which social media creates.The questionnaire offers the opportunity for participants to highlight how they feel social media helps or hinders their everyday practice. The survey is anonymous and can be completed by anyone working in or training in Social Work or anyone who has worked in Social Work previously. If you are a Social Worker past or present, or currently training to be a Social Worker, I would appreciate your input. Thank you for your support with this research.
Purpose and agency in teaching survey
The research is funded by Cardiff University and is led by Dr Kevin Smith. The study is not sponsored by or affiliated with Welsh Government.
The WRISK survey
Women who are planning a pregnancy, or who are pregnant, get advice and information from many different sources. This can be helpful; but may also cause anxiety – and evidence may not always be well explained. The WRISK project wants to hear about your experiences.
The WRISK survey aims to learn more about women’s experiences of advice and information they received both before and during pregnancy. The survey is open to all women who have been pregnant in the last 5 years, regardless of how their pregnancy/ies may have ended. There is particular interest in hearing from women whose voices are not often heard – such as BAME women, women in receipt of welfare benefits, and younger and older women.
Adverse childhood experiences awareness survey
Public Health Wales wish to gain insight into the views and understanding of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) amongst staff in public sector roles within Wales.
To do this, they have commissioned Strategic Research and Insight (SRI), an independent research company based in Cardiff, to carry out an online survey. This will gather the views of public sector workers across Wales.
The survey is important because it will help understand, for the first time, the levels of relevant expertise, knowledge and skills available in public service to tackle the outcomes of ACEs in the adult and child population in Wales.
Public Health Wales would like to hear from as many Wales-based public sector workers as possible, irrespective of their role. This could include, for example, people delivering front line services or people who work in operational, management or leadership roles. It may also include people who work in organisations which deliver services funded by the public sector e.g. Third Sector.
If you have any queries, or would like any information to help promote the survey, please contact Angus Campbell of SRI at angus@strategic-research.co.uk.
Kinship carers: State of the nation survey
The State of the Nation survey is an opportunity for all kinship carers to help develop services and fight for improvements in support for kinship families. This year the focus is on the time when you first became a kinship carer, because this is such a critical stage and often shapes the support that you and your family receive. We want to hear directly from you about your experiences and the improvements you would like to see. Complete the survey here.
