West Yorkshire Armed Forces Covenant survey

Wednesday, 6 October 2021 17:12

People who have Served or who currently Serve in the Armed Forces (including Reservists) and their families are being asked to take part in a survey to find out about services they access for support.

The survey is being carried out by the West Yorkshire Armed Forces Covenant Project Officer who is hosted by Bradford Council. It is being carried out on behalf of all five West Yorkshire local authorities. They would like to hear:

• If members of the Armed Forces Community’s support needs have changed over the past year

• How easy it has been to access information, advice or support when required

• Instances where individuals have heard of and benefited from the Armed Forces Covenant

Feedback from the survey will be used to help shape services in the future and to provide data about the Armed Forces Community and their possible future support needs.

Any responses used in reports will be anonymised, so that no one will be identifiable through taking part in this survey.

The survey will be running until Thursday, 21 October and will be available to complete online at https://online1.snapsurveys.com/hzfz5h

If you would like to complete the survey but do not have access to the internet, please text or call Connor Drake on 07816 117776 to arrange a call back.

Cllr Joanne Dodds, Bradford Council’s Armed Forces Champion, said: “The covenant is a pledge to ensure that our current and former armed forces personnel are able to access the support they need from their local authorities and other organisations.

“It is crucial to find out whether this is working. If you’re a member of the armed forces community, I would encourage you to respond to the survey. It is only through your feedback that we can find out whether there are areas to improve

We would like to take this opportunity to thank individuals who took time to complete the Spring 2020 survey and provided additional information.
