Join a focus group
Focus groups aim to explore the survey topics in more detail. Bringing together professionals from across Greater Manchester with focus groups split into three areas:
- frontline practitioners
- managers and service leads
- strategic leads.
The aim of the survey and focus group is to:
- understand practitioners experiences of supporting the social and emotional development of 2-5 year olds, what services are available, where there are unmet needs, and how a Greater Manchester hub could add value.
- hear what service leads think the practitioners and families need in their area.
- know what strategic leads envision for this age group and where this fits with your priorities.
The sessions will take place on Microsoft Teams and will include a combination of group discussion and interactive mentimeter activities.
The dates and times for the focus group sessions (to be held in Oct/Nov) and more information can be found here: Early Years Mental Health Hub (2-5’s project)
