| Project description |
Following a process of internal
consultation, the Scottish Executive Education Department commissioned
a longitudinal survey designed to follow children from birth
to adolescence. It was intended that the survey be a multi-cohort
survey and it was envisaged that the data provided by this survey
would form an important resource for policy development and
evaluation.
The scoping exercise
In order to ensure that the design and content of the survey
met the needs both of policy-makers within the Scottish Executive
and potential users in other settings (including academics,
practitioners and voluntary organisations), the first stage
of the project was a scoping exercise. This had three main elements:
a series of consultative interviews with key stakeholders; three
consultative seminars held in different parts of Scotland; and
a review of methodology and data from similar surveys carried
out elsewhere. |
