This snapshot captures some questionnaire responses about how the Child Support program communicates with its clients. The questionnaire has been online for approximately 14 weeks and we have received over 11 000 responses. Though it isn't a statistical tool, it captures the opinions of the people who choose to complete it.
The questionnaire asks individuals to rate the communication tools used by the Child Support program on a scale from 1, being 'no use' to 5, being 'very useful'.
In the graph below, the green line represents the percentage of people who thought a particular communication tool was either 'no use' or almost no use (1 or 2 on the scale). The blue line represents the percentage of people who thought a particularly communication tool was useful or 'very useful' (4 or 5 on the scale). Most people found the communication tools not useful. The worst result was for the automated phone service, with only 6% of respondents rating it as useful, and 77% rating it not useful. The best result was for the operator phone service, with 19% of respondents rating it as useful and 58% rating it as not useful.
Thanks to everyone who has completed the Questionnaire.

The Committee will consider whether any problems experienced by payers or payees of child support impact on the majority of parents and other carers involved in the system, or a minority, and make recommendations accordingly.
