• New Royal Museums Greenwich (RMG) Wellbeing Programme: Safe Harbour. New parents/carers consultation survey.

    Thank you for taking the time to complete this survey. It should take no longer than 10 minutes to complete. 

  • You have been sent this survey as you are a new parent/carer living locally to the Royal Museum Greenwich sites, and we need your help to inform a new pilot programme being developed as part of the museum’s wellbeing programme called ‘Safe Harbour.’ See below for more information.

    Results from this survey will help support the learning team at RMG in making sure the new Safe Harbour programme best meets the needs of, and is of value to, you and other new parents/carers like you.

    All results are anonymous and will be used for an internal report with no confidential details shared. Emails provided will only be used to invite you to a pilot session once the consultation phase of the Safe Harbour programme development has been completed. Please note there is an option at the end of this survey to opt in/out of being added to the RMG’s families mailing list, where you can find out about other relevant activity happening at the museums. If you opt in we will add your email to the mailing list database.

  • More about the Safe Harbour Programme

    Below you can find out more information about the Safe Harbour Programme.

  • At the RMG we understand that the COVID-19 pandemic has had a huge impact on communities, disrupting networks, removing support, and causing a feeling of isolation in many. Within this, new families have had resources and support removed as lockdowns prevented access into homes, split up friends, families and peer networks, and left many new parents and carers feeling isolated.

    The Wellbeing Programme at Royal Museums Greenwich responds to the needs of our communities through creative sessions that provide opportunities for respite and social interaction in a safe and welcoming space. This programme is a pilot and will focus on new parents and carers, with children of all ages and abilities. The programme will focus on providing families with a toolkit of ideas and resources for supporting the development of their child and creating their family identity. The programme will guide parents and carers through playful games, challenges and activities to promote positive, nurturing interactions in a group environment. Pursuing these approaches, the sessions will create positive associations, increase trust and help adults and children within the family unit become attuned to each other. These sessions will focus on the parent/carer-child relationship. Activities will be differentiated to allow for children of different ages to participate.

    The content of the sessions will incorporate the themes and collection of the National Maritime Museum and Queen’s House with creative and respite activities scaffolding the programme.
