Barnardos
Barnardos are conducting a Parental Wellbeing Survey to coincide with the newly formed government and to build on their survey findings from last year which showed that a substantial number of parents regularly felt overwhelmed, anxious and burned out. Barnardos hope to use this year’s findings to lobby the government on the issues parents are facing in relation to their wellbeing and the impact that this can have on parenting. HSCL Coordinators may wish to make parents aware of this survey or share it with their school social media pages. The survey can be accessed HERE
