WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO DO THE QUESTIONNAIRES?
These questionnaires have a dual purpose:
- They provide schools with a standard approach to take stock of their RRSA progress with pupils and staff at key points
- They provide data for our wider evaluation.
We will use this data for our own evaluation purposes to help ensure that we are having a positive impact on the lives of children. We analyse the data across schools we work with to identify the difference the RRSA makes for children. You can see how we use this information by looking at our impact reports. You may also find it useful to read The RRSA Theory of Change which explains our vision of change for children and schools.
Our evaluation findings are shared with a range of stakeholders who are interested in RRSA – such as schools, local authorities and current or potential funding partners.
London Schools
From April 2025, all London schools are required to use these questionnaires, as part of our funding from the Mayor of London’s Violence Reduction Unit (VRU). This data will be aggregated across schools by UNICEF UK into regular reports, which will be provided to the VRU to monitor and evaluate the impact of RRSA. This supports the wider monitoring and evaluation of activities to support their London Inclusion Charter. It is not being collected to assess individual school performance.
From August 2026, questionnaires will be mandatory for all schools.
