Municipal Early Years Planning - Parent/Guardian Survey

 

The Municipal Early Years Plan (MEYP) is a key strategy for council, articulating the vision council has for children and families in the Banyule Community.  The plan relates to children aged 0-12 years, with a particular focus on the early childhood years 0-8.

We have put together a parent/ guardian survey to find out what your views and experiences have been with services for children.  It is an opportunity for parents, grandparents or other family members who care for children to help the council obtain feedback and find out what matters to you.

The survey will close on Friday 30th March 2012 at 5pm.  Click here to complete the survey online.

Each person who completes the survey will go into the draw to win 1 of three $50 Coles Myer Vouchers.
