Desperately seeking feedback

Thanks for test-driving our Early Childhood Defence Program project resources.

We desperately need feedback so that we can:

  • improve our resources,
  • let our funders know if the resources are effective, or need improving, and
  • apply for further funding to produce more resources to support children and families.

This survey should only take about 5 minutes. We really appreciate your time.
