Parents Survey 2024

Kent's Police and Crime Commissioner Matthew Scott has created this survey because he wants to know the experiences you and your children have of smartphones, cyberbullying and online safety.

Your answers will help us develop ways to help you and them. This survey is anonymous. It does not ask for your name or contact details. No-one will know what answers you give either, so please be honest.
