Health & Wellbeing Survey 2023/24 
S4 Pupils
INFORMATION AND CONSENT FOR PUPILS
All pupils in Secondary 4 in your school have been asked to take part in this new Health &
Wellbeing Survey which is taking place in a number of primary and secondary schools
right across Scotland. To take part in the Survey, you must read the information provided
next and then choose either the "Yes" or "No" box at the end to say if you agree to take
part in the Survey. Next you will see some questions and answers that should help you to
make a decision.
What is it?
We are inviting everyone in your stage from your school to take part.  We want to hear
about what you do and how you feel about your life.  You are just about to complete a
short online questionnaire.  We are hoping to hear from a lot of children and young
people from across West Dunbartonshire.  
What will happen?
Your teacher will ask you to answer some questions on a computer, laptop or tablet on
your own.  You will then need to choose the answer that best ts how you feel.  This will
take about 20-40 minutes.  The questions will ask you about your school, your family,
things you do, how you feel, your friendships and a range of other things.  
What happens to my answers?
Your local authority will collect the answers from every child or young person who takes
part.  You will not be asked to provide your name.  The local authority will not tell anybody
your answers, not your teacher or your family.  Of course, its up to you if you want to talk
to other people about your answers.  
Your local authority will then look at everybody's answers together.  This is so your local
authority can understand what children or young people of your age think and do.  They
will also look at other information about you, such as the area you live in, your ethnic
background, whether you get extra help at school, etc. 
Who is asking the questions?
Your local authority.  They are asking you these questions so that they can plan for, and
improve the children's services needed in your local area, based on what you and other
children and young people say in this survey.  
Is this a test?
Don't worry, this is not a test.  You did not need to have prepared, as there are no right or
wrong answers.  We just want to hear what you think or how you feel.  
Condentiality and Data Security
The answers you provide will be treated in accordance with the law and used for
statistics and research purposes only.  This means that the data we collect is kept
separately from information which could directly identify you (such as your name).  When
reports using the data are published, care is taken to ensure that no information which
could identify you is included.

The survey can legally happen as the local authority will be processing your personal data
as part of its performance of a task in the public interest.   
Do I have to take part?
It would be great to hear your views, but you don't have to take part.  You will shortly be
asked if you want to, just answer 'no' if you don't.  If you do take part, that's great.  But
remember if there are any questions you don't want to answer, that's ne, you will be able
to skip questions, or choose the 'prefer not to say' option and you wont be asked why.  
Support and Advice 
If you need support or advice on any of the topics asked in the survey, then your school
will have provided you with a list of ways in which you can speak to someone who may be
able to help you.

An e-cigarette (electronic cigarette) or a vape is a device that puffs nicotine
vapour instead of burning tobacco like a cigarette does. E-cigarettes can have
different flavours and come in many shapes and sizes - like pens, boxes and
flash-drives. Most are rechargable. Sometimes they can look like cigarettes and
can only be used once.

Thank you for taking part in the Scottish Health and Wellbeing Census. You
are helping your school, your local authority, its partners and the Scottish
Government to understand more about the lives of children and young people,
and things that matter to you.                                                                                                                                                                               
If any of the
questions you have seen has raised any issues which you would like to talk
about, then please speak to someone you can trust. This could be your
parent(s), carer(s), teacher(s), youth worker(s), etc. Further information will
have been provided by your school teacher.                                                                                                                                                                                 
Please
remember that the only people who will see your answers will be a small
number of analysts in your local authority and in the Scottish Government.
Other analysts may also ask to see your answers in order to conduct their own
research, but this will only happen if the local authority or the Scottish
Government agree to this. Your parents, teachers and friends will not see your
answers.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 
Once again, thank you for taking part.
Thank you for your response, and we fully understand and appreciate your
decision not to take part in the Scottish Health and Wellbeing Census. Please
remember that your decision to not take part is perfectly fine.  However, other
young people are still taking part in the Census. Therefore, please can you
keep any noise and distraction down to a minimum. You may now find it useful
to be doing something whilst others are taking part in the Census, such as
reading a book, doing some homework, etc. Your response has now been
recorded, and you may now close down the browser window
