Calderdale Council want to hear your views on Children’s Centre services in Calderdale.
It is important that we listen to and understand the perspectives of local people on the delivery of Council services. As part of the Council’s commissioning process, we want to gather the opinions of local people to inform and shape the future delivery of Children’s Centre services. This will ensure those services meet the needs of the people of Calderdale.
This survey is aimed at:
- People who use Children’s Centre services, or who may use services in the future, including people preparing for parenting or caring; parents; parent carers; foster carers; adoptive parents; corporate parents; extended family carers; grandparents.
- Professionals.
- Members of the public with an interest in Children’s Centre services.
The core purpose of Children’s Centres is to improve outcomes for young children and their families and reduce inequalities between families in greatest need and their peers in:
- child development and school readiness
- parenting aspirations and parenting skills
- child and family health and life chances.

- universal and targeted support
