We are surveying\u00a0<strong>both<\/strong>\u00a0Year 10 pupils<strong>\u00a0and\u00a0<\/strong>all teachers who teach Year 10 pupils from randomly state-funded secondary schools across England. Our approach is designed to ensure that the invited schools and the young people attending those schools reflect the geographic and demographic diversity of schools across England. The schools we randomly select belong to a couple of different criteria. We have grouped schools according to population density, i.e., rural, urban (cities), and urban (towns). We have also grouped schools based on school governance and autonomy over the curriculum, i.e., academy\/free schools, local authority maintained schools, and voluntary aided schools. We have made sure we include schools of each type from all nine regions of England. Please be assured that, to maintain the integrity of the research, the selection of schools was utterly random.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div data-wp-context=\"{ &quot;autoclose&quot;: false, &quot;accordionItems&quot;: [] }\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/accordion\" role=\"group\" class=\"wp-block-accordion is-layout-flow wp-block-accordion-is-layout-flow\">\n<div data-wp-class--is-open=\"state.isOpen\" data-wp-context=\"{ &quot;id&quot;: &quot;accordion-item-2&quot;, &quot;openByDefault&quot;: false }\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.initAccordionItems\" data-wp-on-window--hashchange=\"callbacks.hashChange\" class=\"wp-block-accordion-item is-layout-flow wp-block-accordion-item-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-accordion-heading has-background\" style=\"background-color:#c2e7d9\"><button aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"accordion-item-2-panel\" data-wp-bind--aria-expanded=\"state.isOpen\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.toggle\" data-wp-on--keydown=\"actions.handleKeyDown\" id=\"accordion-item-2\" type=\"button\" class=\"wp-block-accordion-heading__toggle\"><span class=\"wp-block-accordion-heading__toggle-title\">The Survey Questions<\/span><span class=\"wp-block-accordion-heading__toggle-icon\" aria-hidden=\"true\">+<\/span><\/button><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div inert aria-labelledby=\"accordion-item-2\" data-wp-bind--inert=\"!state.isOpen\" id=\"accordion-item-2-panel\" role=\"region\" class=\"wp-block-accordion-panel is-layout-flow wp-block-accordion-panel-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Note: Schools that have been invited to participate in the survey can access the full set of survey questions for pupils and teachers&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/more.bham.ac.uk\/youth-engagement\/pupil-survey-information-pack-for-teachers\/\">at this password-protected link<\/a>. If invited, you will have received a password in your Headteacher invitation letter and teacher information packs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In our pupil survey, we ask Year 10 pupils from selected schools about what they think is good\/bad for democracy, where they learn about social\/political issues, how their school deals with diversity and equality issues, and pupils they respond to things they disagree with or find offensive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Similarly, we ask teachers in their survey how they engage in civic\/political issues in their lives and professional context, how their school deals with diversity issues, and what professional development they\u2019ve received on such matters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Ethics Committee at the University of Birmingham has approved the research project, and the survey questions have already been trialed in three different schools with Year 10 pupils and teachers. Participation in this study is voluntary, and participating schools, teachers, and pupils can opt out any time before they complete the survey. Pupils and teachers are also free to skip any questions while taking the survey. Of course, we also ensure that the data collected does not disclose any schools\u2019, young people\u2019s, or teachers\u2019 identities.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div data-wp-context=\"{ &quot;autoclose&quot;: false, &quot;accordionItems&quot;: [] }\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/accordion\" role=\"group\" class=\"wp-block-accordion is-layout-flow wp-block-accordion-is-layout-flow\">\n<div data-wp-class--is-open=\"state.isOpen\" data-wp-context=\"{ &quot;id&quot;: &quot;accordion-item-3&quot;, &quot;openByDefault&quot;: false }\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.initAccordionItems\" data-wp-on-window--hashchange=\"callbacks.hashChange\" class=\"wp-block-accordion-item is-layout-flow wp-block-accordion-item-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-accordion-heading has-background\" style=\"background-color:#c2e7d9\"><button aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"accordion-item-3-panel\" data-wp-bind--aria-expanded=\"state.isOpen\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.toggle\" data-wp-on--keydown=\"actions.handleKeyDown\" id=\"accordion-item-3\" type=\"button\" class=\"wp-block-accordion-heading__toggle\"><span class=\"wp-block-accordion-heading__toggle-title\">Conducting the Online Pupil Survey in Your School<\/span><span class=\"wp-block-accordion-heading__toggle-icon\" aria-hidden=\"true\">+<\/span><\/button><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div inert aria-labelledby=\"accordion-item-3\" data-wp-bind--inert=\"!state.isOpen\" id=\"accordion-item-3-panel\" role=\"region\" class=\"wp-block-accordion-panel is-layout-flow wp-block-accordion-panel-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If your school is invited, and agrees to participate in our national surveys, we recommend that you read our the guideline below. We understand each school environment is unique. The guideline, nonetheless, is aimed at supporting you in running the survey smoothly and effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Step 1: Note there are separate surveys for both pupils and for their teachers<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Teachers can complete the survey individually and privately. Please share the teacher information and teacher survey link, with&nbsp;<strong>all those who teach Year 10 pupils<\/strong>&nbsp;in the 2022\/23 school year. Pupil surveys need to be administered online, at school, with a member of staff present. The pupil survey is easy to administer and can be supervised by a member\/members of staff of the school. Or it can be administered remotely online by one of our project team members,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/more.bham.ac.uk\/youth-engagement\/meet-the-project-team\/\">Dr Shajed Rahman or Dr Asli Kandemir<\/a>, with a staff member present. Please note that the surveys need to be completed by the end of June 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Step 2: Let us know when you want to administer the pupil survey<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Please email&nbsp;your contact point from our team&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/more.bham.ac.uk\/youth-engagement\/information-for-participants\/o-the-national-survey-of-year-10-pupils-and-teachers\/m.rahman.5@bham.ac.uk\" target=\"_blank\">Dr Shajed Rahman<\/a>&nbsp;or&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"mailto:a.kandemir@bham.ac.uk\" target=\"_blank\">Dr Asli Kandemir<\/a>&nbsp;via phone or email to let them know how and when you want to administer the survey. Please note you can arrange to administer the survey with all Year 10 pupils at once if your school\u2019s facilities allow, or you can administer the survey in a staggered way with different groups. Asli or Shajed will then confidentially email you the relevant pupil survey guidance in an online folder. The folder will include the letter for parents, and a sample pupil survey and teacher survey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Step 3: Familiarise yourself with the survey<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The pupil and teacher surveys are similar. We recommend that the teachers who are administering the pupil survey also take the teacher survey before Year 10 pupils, so that they can explain the nature of the survey to them. Please look at the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/more.bham.ac.uk\/youth-engagement\/pupil-survey-information-pack-for-teachers\/\">short guide<\/a>&nbsp;(password supplied in your information pack) offering top tips and brief guidance to maximise pupil response.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Step 4: Distribute the parent\/guardian pack<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Please pass on the parents\/guardian information and opt-out materials as soon as you receive them via email. Please keep a record of parents\/guardians who inform you that they do not want their child to participate in the survey so that these pupils can take other activities. Step 6 explains how to ensure voluntary participation and avoid exclusion of those not taking the survey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Step 5: Reminder for Year 10 teachers<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Please send a \u2018one week to go\u2019 reminder to all your colleagues who teach Year 10 pupils to consider completing the teacher survey before March 28th 2023.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Step 6: Conduct the pupil survey online, in your school<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All Year 10 pupils are expected to take the survey. We highly recommend that you take a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/more.bham.ac.uk\/youth-engagement\/pupil-survey-information-pack-for-teachers\/\">look at the tips<\/a>&nbsp;again before you start the survey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You will receive the pupil survey link at least one day prior to administering the survey. Please give the pupils the survey link to type in themselves, or beforehand, open the survey link on all participating pupils\u2019 computers. This link will include an explanation of the survey to pupils which asks for their assent to take part. Please ask pupils to read the first page of the screen carefully before starting the survey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Shajed\/Asli may be present remotely to assist you in conducting the survey. Please remain in the room while Shajed\/Asli guides the pupils remotely through the survey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If a parent\/guardian or pupil withdraws consent, or if a pupil stops taking the survey, please facilitate them to take one of the following suggested activities:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Brainpop learning games:&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.brainpop.com\/games\/\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.brainpop.com\/games\/<\/a>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Video about children\u2019s rights to express themselves:&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=J5kVavuS6IY\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=J5kVavuS6IY<\/a>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Step 7: You can give pupils some limited assistance in competing their survey<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can explain a question to a pupil if they need help. But please do not advise pupils how to answer any question, and please do not watch any individual pupils\u2019 survey responses directly.&nbsp;&nbsp;If a pupil is unsure or has yet to decide how to answer a particular question, they can tick \u2018unsure\u2019. Or the may skip a question if they don\u2019t want to answer it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Step 8: Confirm to the research team that the pupil survey has been completed<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Please ensure all pupils who complete the survey click the \u2018submit\u2019 button at the end. Please take let Asli\/Shajed know by email when your pupil survey has been completed with all Year 10s, and please note with them any issues you had regarding the survey \u2013 we will follow up with you quickly.&nbsp;Thank you!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"color:#ddd\" class=\"wp-block-genesis-blocks-gb-spacer gb-block-spacer gb-divider-solid gb-divider-size-1\"><hr style=\"height:30px\"\/><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Information on the Survey for Parents and Guardians<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div data-wp-context=\"{ &quot;autoclose&quot;: false, &quot;accordionItems&quot;: [] }\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/accordion\" role=\"group\" class=\"wp-block-accordion is-layout-flow wp-block-accordion-is-layout-flow\">\n<div data-wp-class--is-open=\"state.isOpen\" data-wp-context=\"{ &quot;id&quot;: &quot;accordion-item-4&quot;, &quot;openByDefault&quot;: false }\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.initAccordionItems\" data-wp-on-window--hashchange=\"callbacks.hashChange\" class=\"wp-block-accordion-item is-layout-flow wp-block-accordion-item-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-accordion-heading has-background\" style=\"background-color:#c2e7d9\"><button aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"accordion-item-4-panel\" data-wp-bind--aria-expanded=\"state.isOpen\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.toggle\" data-wp-on--keydown=\"actions.handleKeyDown\" id=\"accordion-item-4\" type=\"button\" class=\"wp-block-accordion-heading__toggle\"><span class=\"wp-block-accordion-heading__toggle-title\">Study Information, Benefits, and Confidentiality<\/span><span class=\"wp-block-accordion-heading__toggle-icon\" aria-hidden=\"true\">+<\/span><\/button><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div inert aria-labelledby=\"accordion-item-4\" data-wp-bind--inert=\"!state.isOpen\" id=\"accordion-item-4-panel\" role=\"region\" class=\"wp-block-accordion-panel is-layout-flow wp-block-accordion-panel-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What is this research study about?&nbsp;<\/strong>This is a University of Birmingham study.

The surveys are focused on Year 10 pupils as this is an important time for the development of their civic, social and political awareness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What does the survey involve?&nbsp;<\/strong>Your child will be guided through the 20-minute survey at school this month as part of a group of pupils by a member of school staff who has received guidance from the research team. Using youth-friendly language, we will ask your child their views on what is good\/bad for democracy, where they learn about social\/political issues, how their school deals with diversity issues, and&nbsp;how they respond to strong disagreement or offense. We ask them to identify their gender, ethnicity, religion\/beliefs and socio-economic background so that we can track patterns in the responses of pupils from different backgrounds. As these can be slightly sensitive questions, provide a list support links for parents on these topics at the end our letter to parents, and have provided a separate list for the school and children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What\u2019s the benefit for my child?<\/strong>&nbsp;We will use the findings to support all schools to further improve how they support young people to engage inside and outside school on important social issues that may affect them.
