Overview of the Project
We believe it is important to understand how health and wellbeing in the family affect the future of our children. We would like to ask mothers and partners to fill out the Born in Wales Survey and help to improve understanding of how to best support families into the future. Please read the information sheet for mums here and the information sheet for partners here.
