Children in care and care leavers survey

This survey is for children and young people who are currently in care or care leavers from West Sussex County Council. Your experiences, views and ideas are important to us. By sharing your thoughts, you will help us understand what is working well and where things could be improved.

There are no right or wrong answers, we are interested in what you think and feel. Your responses will help shape services and support for other care experienced children and young people, both now and in the future.

Thank you in advance for your support in helping us to make a difference.
