The survey takes 5 minutes and all responses are anonymous. You will be automatically directed to enter the prize draw once you’ve submitted your response.

Your responses, alongside those of your fellow practitioners, will be compiled into a visual report on the state of the profession, covering the trends, pressures and opportunities shaping practice right now.
This report will be shared publicly, on our socials and across our community, as something genuinely useful and shareable, not just for The Grove, but for the profession as a whole.
We plan to run the survey annually, so that the picture we build together stays current and reflects how practice continues to change.
