Parent Survey 2009

During this week and next, your key person will give you a copy of Islington’s Annual Survey. We hope you will be able to spend a few minutes filling the form in.

The surveys are then sent to Islington, who collate the findings – no-one here at Kate Greenaway sees them.

It is helpful to everyone if you give your views as clearly and honestly as possible; then we will know from Islington’s feedback what we are doing well, and what we should do better. There is a handwritten number on your form and envelope but this does not link it to you – each block of forms we give out is numbered, so that if there are groups of parents and users who are not responding, we can give out more forms or encourage returns.

But it is optional, and entirely your decision.

Last year we got a very high response rate – so please, if you have a few minutes, fill in a survey and return it in the envelope provided.

If you want a form: drop into Kate Greenaway and ask for one at the office, or phone Family Information Service on 020 7527 5959.

You can have the document in large print, Braille, audiotape or in another language.

There is no option to complete the form online, but you can email Family Information Service who can send you a copy.
