Dear Parents and carers,

As part of our duty to meet the wellbeing needs of the children/young people across our educational settings, we plan to invite them to take part in a short, anonymous survey about their health and wellbeing. The purpose of this is to establish strengths and next steps at school and local authority level to better meet pupils’ needs. The questions being used can be found here:

https://www.edinburgh.gov.uk/healthandwellbeingsurvey.

We would like to reassure you that pupils will not be required to enter any personally identifiable data and no one will be able to identify your children from their answers. The collated responses will be used to produce statistics at school and local authority level.

This approach is well established within our schools and ensures that strategic planning is based on needs identified.

If you would prefer that your child does not take part in this survey, please email admin@victoria.edin.sch.uk

As always, should your child have any wellbeing concerns in school, these can be raised through existing channels. The survey should be completed by Thursday 28 March.

Kind regards
David Maguire
Principal Officer, Engagement & Involvement
