#TellSCMA Childminding and You 2024

This survey is your opportunity to #TellSCMA, and help us gather your feedback on a number of critical topics that we know are important to you, and help us advocate on your behalf.

As always, you can be assured that your responses will be read in full, and your feedback and experiences will inform our future work, help us increase and strengthen our support for you, and guide us in addressing the issues affecting childminders in Scotland.

The following survey should only take around 20 minutes of your time. Whilst we know your time is precious - your responses really will make a difference - and is completely anonymous.
