Restrictive Practices Reform Survey

Your views on how the reformed framework will work in practice and the implementation of the proposed changes are important.

There are up to 15 questions that you can answer to share your views on restrictive practices. Please complete as many of the questions as you can. 

This can take some time, so please note: There is a 45 minute time limit for completing the survey from the time you start filling it out. To save your response, click the finish later button (within the 45 minute time limit)—you will be given an address and a password, which you can use later to complete your survey.
