Survey launch – have your say on DfE’s Sustainability and Climate Change Draft Strategy
The UK Government’s Department for Education have launched an anonymous survey to gather feedback on the Department for Education’s Sustainability and Climate Change Draft Strategy. This will run until 23:59 on 20 February.
The survey will ask you which actions set out in the strategy are the most important to you, your opinions of the overall strategy, and a bit about yourself such as age bracket and what region you live in. DfE will use the results from this survey alongside feedback from focus groups and working groups to inform the final developments of the strategy before publication in April 2022.
In order to answer the questions in the survey, you will need to have read the Department’s draft strategy.
If you would like to take part in the DfE anonymous survey, please use the link below. By submitting your response, you are consenting for DfE to use your answers as part of their analysis of the public’s opinion on the draft strategy. Please read the privacy notice below before proceeding.
