Surrey Annual Foster Carer Survey 2025

Closes 14 Feb 2025

Opened 13 Jan 2025

Overview

Surrey Fostering Service would like to collect the views of Surrey Approved Foster Carers, Supported Lodgings Carers and Staying Put Providers. We undertake this activity on an annual basis and would ask you to reflect on your fostering experience from last year, between January and December 2024.

The survey has been updated in 2025 to align with the upcoming Foster Carers Charter, launching in February, to better measure its impact on children and carers.

Why your views matter...

We are conducting this survey so we can gather as many views and experiences as possible - this will enable us to ensure we are meeting the needs of our children and carers, and to adapt our service to meet these needs.

Depending on your responses this survey should take around 10 minutes to complete. Your input is invaluable, and your time very much appreciated.

This survey is organised into different sections where your responses will be entirely anonymous as no personal details are collected. We treat all responses as strictly confidential, and all data collected will be used in-line with our data protection policy (Fostering Service - Privacy Notice).

Please note: this survey will close on Friday 14th February 2025.
