Completing the survey
The survey can be accessed on a computer, laptop, tablet or mobile and will take varying times to complete depending on the age and needs of your young people. This year there is a ‘save and continue’ function to the survey, therefore, if necessary, a young person can take more than one session to complete. At the start of the survey students will select their school/college from the list or select ‘other’ if not attending a SEND school.
Many young people completing this survey may require support and its recommended they are also given assurance that the information collected is anonymous and where questions are personal young people are given privacy to answer.
Benefits of the survey
The process of supporting young people to complete this survey initiates conversations on the following themes.
- Mental health and wellbeing
- Healthy eating and physical activity
- Smoking and vaping
- Sexual health
- Safety and bullying
The survey results provide commissioners and a range of agencies with useful data on the Hertfordshire SEND young person population, including enabling effective service delivery that meets the needs of SEND young people and their families.
Professionals who work with or for young people will be able to access summary reports online, containing county and district level information about young people’s health behaviours. SEND schools and colleges receive an individualised report if pupils submit over 50 completed surveys.
