We are always trying to improve our service to ensure our families are getting the support they want and need. One way we do this is by capturing feedback from the people who use our services.
We collect feedback in several ways using postal questionnaires, telephone interviews, internet surveys and questionnaires following training events.
If you want to give us feedback about our service at any time you can complete our online survey. You can also contact us directly if you have more detailed comments to make. We have a comments, compliments and complaints policy too.
If you have comments to make about our information, publications or the content of the website, you can email us directly at diasinformation@devon.gov.uk.
How are we doing?

People who commented positively about the service said:

- This service was amazing I learn so much from one phone call

When we have comments that are less positive, we analyse the feedback and look again at the support we give to see whether we could do something more or do it differently. We regularly reflect on our practice to make sure we give the best service we can.
