Annex 1 Parents Questionnaire
Mixing school and work: your views
Personal and confidential
Many young people have paid part-time jobs while they are still at school. The Scottish Executive is keen to understand more about this and so has commissioned an independent research team to find out about part-time employment amongst school pupils across Scotland.
Your [son/daughter, [add name], has already completed a questionnaire about this and taken part in a group discussion with us. But it's also important that we find out about parents' or carers' views about their son or daughter working while they are still at school and whether schools should take more account of their part-time work. We asked [add name] to tell who we should send this questionnaire to and [he/she] suggested we sent it to you.
If you have more than one child in secondary school, please answer about [add name] since [he/she] is the one who is involved in this research.
Your answers will be treated in complete confidence. No information about individuals will be passed on to schools, the Scottish Executive or any other body and neither you nor [add name] will be identified in any publication from the research and
All completed questionnaires returned to us will be entered in a prize draw for £100 worth of Boots vouchers.
If you have any questions about this survey or about the research, please contact any member of the research team.
