Help shape the future of parental support in the Isle of Man

Parents and guardians being invited to contribute to survey

Ensuring children up to the age of eleven are school ready when they enter the education system is one of the driving forces behind a Public Health initiative to help develop parental support in the Isle of Man.

The Health and Lifestyle Survey is running until 28 May and is part of ongoing work being carried out in partnership with the Department of Education, Sport and Culture 

One of its aims is to go towards addressing the so-called early intervention priority in the government's Island Plan.

Cabinet Office Minister, David Ashford says the number of children starting school without the required social and language skills is of concern.
