Parent and Carer Questionnaire

We are conducting research on the use of mobile phones in schools. The purpose of this survey is to understand the views of parents, teachers and pupils. Your feedback will help shape future guidance in line with Scottish Government advice and support learning, safety and wellbeing in our schools.

This survey is being carried out as part of the Council’s public task. It is entirely anonymous. We are not collecting any personal data about you and we ask that you do not include any information that could identify you or others in your responses.
