CSCP Practitioner Survey (Closing date 20th May 2022)

Cumbria Safeguarding Children Partnership (CSCP) were seeking the views of professionals from across the partnership who work directly with children, young people, and their families.
We sent out 3 questions every day during Safeguarding Week.  To enable as many people as possible complete the survey we have now collated all the questions into one survey.
We kindly ask you to complete this questionnaire offering as much detail as you can. Your responses - which will not be attributable to you in the analysis - will be reported to the CSCP and used to help inform ongoing and future priorities and programmes of work.
This is your opportunity to feed in, share your ideas, suggestions and contribute to shaping services for the future.
The closing date for this survey is Friday 20th May 2022.
If you have any queries about the survey, please email cscp@cumbria.gov.uk
