Exit Survey
 
 
As you know, we are keen to understand more about your experience and needs as a relative or friend of someone who has returned from prison abroad.

We would be very grateful if you could complete this questionnaire by 28th February. The information from the survey will help us to develop our support for families and friends of someone who has been in prison abroad.

The questionnaire is completely anonymous, however if you would like to be entered into the prize draw, please provide your name and contact details at the end of the questionnaire.

If your relative is still in prison, you will need to complete a different questionnaire - please click here.

Many thanks for your help.
