Parent surveys were carried out after each HAF Programme took place to gather feedback from parents.  The surveys were online and shared with parents through a weblink on the HAF Programme webpage, and via emails from the schools to their FSM families.

The feedback surveys are well received by the parents, and we have responses from an average of 185 families per programme.
