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.

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. 1.
