Survey Analysis

Helping Parent Carer Forums turn survey responses into clear evidence for change

Our Survey Analysis service helps Parent Carer Forums turn survey responses into a clear, credible narrative about the experiences of families.

Many forums gather valuable feedback from parents, carers and young people through annual surveys and consultations. These responses provide a powerful picture of how education, health and care services are working in practice, but analysing large volumes of feedback and presenting the findings clearly can be challenging.

We provide independent analysis of survey responses, helping you understand patterns in the data, highlight differences in experience across communities, and draw out the key messages from both quantitative responses and qualitative feedback.

Our work often includes analysing how experiences vary by factors such as type of educational setting, level of support, area of residence or a child’s main additional need, helping forums identify where families are facing the greatest challenges.

  • Represent the voices of families with confidence
  • Highlight where services are working well or need improvement
  • Provide robust evidence to local authorities and partners
  • Strengthen strategic discussions
  • Track change and impact over time

Interpreting and presenting the findings

We present the results through charts, tables and clear written commentary, highlighting key insights, explaining what the findings mean, and drawing out the most important messages from the survey.
