Diversity of Religion and Belief Guidance and Resource Pack: Evaluation Survey
Applies to-All schools
Around this time last year, I attempted to contact every SACRE in England to distribute a free 60-page PDF guidance and resource pack on Diversity of Religion and Belief, developed at Cardiff University. I am now contacting SACRE members again to ask if you would be willing to complete a short survey to tell me what you thought about the pack and if/how (to your knowledge) it has made any difference to practice in schools. I would also be very grateful if you would be willing to distribute the survey amongst schools in your local area, so some of them can complete the survey too.
As a reminder, I’ve included links here to the original PDF guidance and resource pack: http://orca.cf.ac.uk/110147/ The pack aims to bring together relevant policy frameworks, academic research and good practice into a single document in order to provide schools with the tools to create an environment that recognises and values diversity of religion and belief, as well as deliver good quality RE and PSE that promotes interfaith respect and understanding.
The survey takes around 10 minutes to complete and responses are recorded anonymously. Your participation in the survey is highly valued but is of course voluntary and you may withdraw at any point by closing the browser. The results will be used to feed into any future editions of the pack and/or other related publications and resources for schools.
Please click on the following link to complete the survey: https://socsi.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_brr8tWU6ffwAq1L
This research project has gained ethical approval from the School of Social Sciences at Cardiff University. You email address was obtained through the publically accessible NASACRE directory. The survey will close at the end of July, so I will send one more reminder before the end of the academic year, after which point I will not contact you about this again. Feel free to email me with any further questions you might have about the research.
