QLD Child Safety Parent Survey

Project Status
This survey is for parents who have experience with Child Safety in Queensland to tell us what they think and how to make things better.
If you are a birth parent or other parent with Child Safety experience in the past five years in Queensland and are at least 18 years old, the Child Safety Parent Survey is for you to have your say.
The survey will ask you questions about your time as a parent working with Child Safety. We want to know:
- If parents are told about their rights, what they need to do, and the help they can get when working with Child Safety.
- What are the hard things about involvement with Child Safety.
- What are the good things that Child Safety does.
Your answers will be used to help Child Safety understand what it’s doing well and what needs to be done better.
The Social Research Centre is an independent company that will collect everyone’s answers to write a report. Funding for doing the survey has been provided to us by Child Safety.
