Your survey may ask for postcodes. The capacity to do an analysis by area is highly valued by local authorities, so we would like as many full postcodes to be collected as possible. If your survey asks for postcodes, please give young people a chance to refresh their memory of their home postcode. The letter to parents/carers can include a prompt to find your home postcode, or a colleague in the school office might be able to run off a list of postcodes for each class.
Your survey may ask about young carers. Please call the attention of pupils to the definition in the question and explain if need be. We are not asking if pupils care about their parents, nor if they occasionally help out at home.
Your survey may ask about parents/carers in the armed forces. Please remind pupils: we are asking only about Mum, Dad and other carers in the home, not other family members or relatives.
