Young people's views on UTURN

UTURN are the drug and alcohol service for young people in Swindon. We work 1:1 with young people, complete group sessions, and deliver training and advice to communities, schools, and other professionals.

We know that talking about drug and alcohol use with a professional can be difficult, and we would like to hear what you as young people have to say, and what steps we can take to improve our service and make it more accessible.

This is an anonymous survey so please be as transparent and honest as possible, and if you have any other questions, or want to get in touch with UTURN, please email us at UTURN@swindon.gov.uk.
