Evaluation of a RIGHT blether - York Consulting

Scotland’s Commissioner for Children and Young PeopleEvaluation of a RIGHT bletherOnline Census Survey1.10 A link to the survey was circulated to approximately 1,300 adults on thedatabase held by the Commissioner’s team. 195 responses 7 were receivedfrom all 32 LAs in Scotland, with numbers of respondents per LA broadlyreflecting the levels of participation in the VOTE element of a RIGHTblether 8 . Given the timing of the survey had to take place during thesummer holidays, and was some time after the end of the consultation, thisis a positive response rate. It is also likely that a number of adult delivererson the database may have had limited involvement in a RIGHT blether andtherefore may not have felt able to complete the survey fully.1.11 Table 1 shows that the largest number of responses came from either localauthority (LA) personnel or school staff, most of whom were from a primaryschool. Most respondents were either a class teacher, school headteacher orsenior leader, or Children's Rights Officer/Community Education Officer(Figure 2).Table 1: What type of organisation do you work for?Base = 195 % 9 ResponsesPrimary or secondary school 31% 61Local authority 24% 46Youth work 12% 23National organisation/charity 10% 20Community learning 9% 17Special school 4% 8Uniformed group 2% 3Other 9% 177 Due to some questions being non-compulsory, some omitting of Don’t Know or N/A answers, and11 respondents only partially completing the survey, base numbers (i.e. the number of respondentsthat answer the question) differ.8 Available in Appendix One of a RIGHT blether – Vote Results.
