Third Sector Engagement in Children’s Service Planning Survey

Posted on February 22, 2019

The National Third Sector GIRFEC (NTSG) Project aims to maximise the influence of local and national third sector organisations in children’s services planning and delivery.

Over the coming months, the NTSG Project is particularly interested in developing its current understanding of the third sector’s progress in children’s services planning as the strategic approach to improving children’s outcomes.

As a result, they have launched an online survey, and are particularly keen to hear from officers working at a strategic level within third sector organisations, who have been involved in Children’s Services Plans and planning.

Feedback to this survey will help NTSG take stock on what has been working well in children’s services planning, as well as identifying any challenges and areas for improvement.

The deadline for responses is 12pm on Thursday 28^th February.

To submit your response, or for further information, please visit the SurveyMonkey page.

Alternatively, for further information, please contact Louise Wright by email: lwright@childreninscotland.org.uk, or Vicky Wan by email: vwan@childreninscotland.org.uk
