Parents asked for thoughts

PARENTS in Carmarthenshire are being asked to share their thoughts and experiences of lockdown.

Carmarthenshire Council is keen to learn and gain a clear picture of the challenges that families have faced over the last few months.

A wide-ranging survey has been launched to gather this feedback, which will help inform and shape education in the coming weeks.

Parents will receive the online survey directly from their children’s school, and they will be asked about how their children have coped with online learning, what emotional challenges they have faced, and what has worked well.

Councillor Glynog Davies, executive board member for education and children’s services, said: “We would like to hear from parents, and gain a real insight into what their experience has been. This survey will help us as we look ahead, we need to be sure that we consider parents’ concerns and feedback to ensure that we put the right provision in place to support our children.

“I encourage parents to take part in our survey.”
