Parents tell us about the ‘Top issues’ facing their children 

Launch of ‘Top Issues’ infographic

Parents Connect Wales asked ‘As a parent, what are the main issues facing children at the moment? using an online Mentimeter poll.  

We had a fantastic response from parents across Wales with 166 parents sharing over 400 issues that they felt were impacting their children. We are now launching this new infographic showing the top issues that have been identified.  

Parents have told us that these are the top issues facing them and these have been shared with Welsh Government. The voice of parents is important and we need to continue hearing from them to ensure that the right support is offered at the right time.
