Our annual community perceptions survey measures the community’s confidence in the systems designed to support children and families. The information collected through the survey builds our evidence base and provides insights into the systems that interact with children, young people and families.
More than 3,600 Queensland adults responded to the survey, with parents and caregivers making up just over half of respondents this year. New data was also collected regarding parent’s support and engagement with their child’s health, culture, academic, sporting and social needs.
This year’s survey highlighted concerns around the cost of living and the negative impact this is having on families, but despite these concerns respondents had positive perceptions of their children’s futures. Community confidence and trust in the child protection system was also higher than reported in previous surveys.
