You are under no obligation to provide personal data to the FISS team for the purpose of monitoring the Triple P online programme using the Smart Survey. However, if you do not provide your data it may limit the services we are able to offer you, and will prevent us from undertaking a thorough evaluation of the Triple P online parenting programme and prevent the service from targeting particular groups that are not accessing our service.

Should you wish, you can decide to use the paper process in place of this electronic version, by advising the parenting practitioner of your preferences.

All completed surveys will be reported on a quarterly basis which will allow for the FISS Service to audit completed surveys and mark them as completed.
