AnonyMouse_2127 Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 I send out questionaires yearly for parents and children to complete. There is a space for name on the bottom. As not many are returned I am wondering whether I should just let them be returned anonymously. What do you think? I am just about to send another one in the next day or so.

AnonyMouse_44476 Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 The most responses we have had is when we have done it via survey monkey online. This is anonymous although some of them put their child's name but it's their choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_5970 Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Ours are always anonymous. Some people choose to 'reveal' who it is by using their child's name etc but a lot return them anonymously. Of course, we always try to figure out whose is whose! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_19135 Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 We ask for names at the bottom with the words "Only complete your name if you would like a personal response" We probably get 60% back 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_6721 Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 I have found that if the questions are open ended, parents don't reply. If they have a agree, disagree, etc,the response is better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 We give parents the option to say who they are if they want to. Get a much better response if give a second copy a few days later!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnonyMouse_5970 Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 We ask for our responses graded the same as Ofsted - outstanding, good, requires improvement, inadequate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnonyMouse_34791 Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Just sent out our first questionnaire - giving parents choice of being anonymous. I have introduced a Comments and suggestions book rather than suggestions box and found we have now got evidence of positive feedback from parents and professionals, this is alongside the one suggestion! - hoping will be good for OFSTED as waiting first inspection!

AnonyMouse_37203 Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 (edited) Ditto - use survey monkey and some id themselves by using children's name but otherwise anonymous. First time had better response rate than second, like the idea of resending a few days later. Must admit myself, despite meaning to, I tend not to act upon things until I have reminder!

AnonyMouse_7120 Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 I meant a box on the questionnaire rather than an actual box . I like the book idea for visitors to add comments, do you find they actually do ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnonyMouse_44288 Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Can I ask what do your questionares ask please? Looking at sending one out about parents evenings but wondering if anyone uses a less speficic one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless we stand over them and ask them politely but firmly to do so 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
