AnonyMouse_8422 Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 As part of my current research I have devised a very brief anonymous survey for parents, to assess current attitudes regarding men working in early years. So far I have had nearly 500 responses. I would be very grateful if anyone feels able to promote this to the parents of children attending your settings? Suggested invitation – We are asking as many parents as possible to participate in a brief (9 question) survey about men working in Early Years as part of a research project which will be used to inform national policy. You may be aware that less than 2% of the Early Years workforce in England is currently male. This issue is currently being considered at a national level. Parents and carers views are an important part of the research. We would very much appreciate your input. The survey is anonymous. It can be found here - https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/SAMEY The questions in the survey are - 1. I believe it is beneficial for children aged 0-5 years to be cared for by men as well as women in early years settings (nursery, preschool, childminder) Y / N 2. I am happy for a male early years worker to care for my child? Y / N 3. What is the age of your child? (in years) 4. I have concerns about men working in early years Y / N 5. If you answered Yes to Question 4, please could you give your reasons? 6. What are the benefits, if any, of having a mixed-gender early years workforce? 7. What does the term 'male role-model' mean to you? 8. Any other comments about men working in early years settings 9. I Am Male / Female l will be happy to share the final results with anyone interested. Many thanks David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
