The Big Ask

This page is linked from the following article: Asking is not the Same as Listening (2 May 21).

On Monday 19 April 2020 the recently appointed Children’s Commissioner for England, Dame Rachel de Souza, launched her Big Ask, the largest ever survey of children and young people in England. The survey runs until Wednesday 19 May.
[Update: The deadline for responding to this survey has been extended to Friday 28 May.]

Details are available on her website: The Big Ask – Children’s Commissioner for England

The survey had different sets of questions for the following age groups: 4-5, 6-8, 9-12, 13-17 & Adults. There was however no way to review the questions before answering every question non the first two of three pages.

In response to a Freedom of Information Request her office provided five text files, one for each age group.

These files were made available to the HE Byte team, so that home educated young people would be able to review the questions before deciding if they wanted to participate in the Big Ask.
