Toddler & Preschool Wellbeing: A Survey for Fathers, Mothers and Carers of Children Aged 2–5

The Greater Manchester Early Years Mental Health Hub (2-5s Project) is two-year project to help us to understand and better support the social-emotional development and mental health of children aged 2-5 years.

The project will use information gathered through this survey to test better ways to offer support to families and carers. We are working closely with parents, carers, and professionals to design this project together. This will make sure it:

• Is easy to access
• Works well with services families already use
• Meets the real needs of families from different backgrounds
Why your views matter

This short survey will help us understand the needs of 2–5 year olds and their families, including where there may be gaps or differences in support.

Taking part is completely voluntary, but your feedback is really important. It will help us design early mental health support that:

• Focuses on families
• Meets the needs of young children and their carers
• Is available at the right time

By sharing your views, you will help us improve support for children and families across Greater Manchester.

We want to understand what would make life easier for fathers, mothers and all carers of children aged 2-5yrs in Greater Manchester.

Your responses will remain anonymous.
