The Department for Education & Skills needed to understand levels of customer satisfaction amongst key stakeholders (public, parents, teachers, head teachers and children and young people). A customer focus team was set up within the corporate communications directorate.
DJS Research (through Danny Sims) was commissioned on an ongoing basis to provide consultancy support and implement a range of market research projects.
Projects included:
Public perception survey: Measuring satisfaction with the education system among the public and parents.
Stakeholder tracking survey: Measuring satisfaction with the education system among head teachers, teachers, students, the public, and parents.
Children and young people survey: Measuring satisfaction with the education system among 14–17-year-olds.
The team also initiated a number of tactical, ad hoc research projects.
Ongoing results were presented to the board to show levels of satisfaction over time. The analysis was also presented to the Secretary of State for Education.
In addition, the results were part of a wider initiative led by the Cabinet Office. The education results were benchmarked against customer satisfaction results from all other government departments.
