Surveys
CLAPA runs regular surveys of our community so we can make sure everything we do is based on the needs of people in the UK affected by cleft lip and/or palate.
Here you can find information on some of our past surveys, including reports on the results.
You are free to use these statistics for academic or media purposes. Contact CLAPA for more information, or see our Press & Media page.
Diagnosis – 2016-17
