The International Parenting Survey - UK (IPS-UK) is an online survey designed to give parents from the UK their say about important issues.
Dr Daniel Weisberg and Dr Anja Wittkowski from The University of Manchester's School of Psychological Sciences are conducting the UK side of the survey together with Caledonian University, Glasgow.
The survey provides parents with the opportunity to tell us what support they want and how they want to get it (e.g. online or in person).
Understanding the challenges that parents face and the support that they want will give service providers a chance to design support that meets parents' needs.
The IPS-UK gathers vital information from parents, on topics such as:
• Child behaviours
• Confidence in responding to children's needs
• The types of challenges that parenting brings
• What type of support parents want and how they want to access this support
The team are currently seeking parents who are living in the UK and who have children aged between 2 and 12 to give us 20 to 30 minutes of their time to fill in the survey.
We want to hear about your views, your experiences and the challenges that they face!
