Tips for answering Consultation Surveys
Take your time
You will have plenty of time to answer the survey, so don’t feel you have to rush. You can save your answers and come back to them later by choosing ‘save and come back later’. Add your email address to receive the link back in to continue where you left off. (If you do this, make sure you use the link to continue and submit your answers before the survey closing date.)
If you don’t understand something, ask
If a question doesn’t make sense or you don’t understand the information, ask somebody.
Each activity includes a contact email address at the top of the page. You can email them to ask a question. If you are struggling, feel free to contact us at YouthVoiceBucks@Buckinghamshire.gov.uk, and we will make sure you get the help you need.
You could also ask for help from a parent, carer, or a teacher.
It is the job of the person who made the survey to make the questions as accessible as possible. It’s not your fault if you don’t understand something.
Write things in the text boxes
If you feel passionately about something, write about it in the text boxes provided. You can explain why you chose a certain option, give an example of why the topic is important to you, or even give feedback on the survey questions.
Consultation and engagement activities from other organisations
Other organisations run consultation and engagement activities. Sometimes these will be online and sometimes at events. They will run in a similar way to Buckinghamshire Council’s activities but remember to check the information pages and ask a parent or carer if you’re unsure.
