Friends and Family Tests (FFT)
Monkey works with NHS England’s Insight Team: creating, developing and updating inclusive Friends and Family Tests, designed for children, young people and their families/carers.
Monkey Wellbeing’s Friends and Family Test forms adhere to the latest guidance and are free to download below, or via the NHS England website – children and young people NHS England » Making the Friends and Family Test inclusive
From 1 April 2020, the Friends and Family Test guidance changed to:
A new standard question for all settings: “Overall, how was your experience of our service?”
The new question has a new response scale:
- Very good
- Good
- Neither good nor poor
- Poor
- Very poor
- Don’t know
and new preceding text to make it clear which setting the feedback refers to, following the words: “Thinking about”, providers can choose the most appropriate of these options or use their own similar wording – this will help ensure the feedback collected is related to the right service:

NHS South Central, organised by Kath Rooksby. You can read the full Evaluation Report by LJMU below.
Monkey Wellbeing’s FFT’s are free to download below. Alternatively the Picker Institute and Healthcare Communications offer a children’s and young people’s FFT form featuring Monkey and can conduct surveys on your behalf, managing data collection, analysis and presentation.
