Evaluation of education programme: Give and let live 2008

The Jeanette Crizzle Trust

The Jeanette Crizzle Trust is a research organisation, which has been set-up to establish public awareness of bone marrow, blood and organ donation. It will achieve this by conducting a series of research projects, including undertaking independent tracking research and other ad hoc projects.

DJS Research was commissioned in 2007 to conduct an initial benchmarking stage of tracking research. The research was conducted during June 2007 through to August 2007, prior to the launch of a government education programme called 'give and let live'. 

The education programme was launched in September 2007 and is aimed at 14-16 year old pupils, it comprises a teacher’s pack and a website, and includes lesson plans, activity sheets, real life stories, debating topics, games, films and other activities. It is being offered to state and independent secondary schools across the UK and is recommended for use within PSHE, citizenship, Science and ICT.

Over time the tracking research is intended to help determine the effectiveness of the government education programme in relation to bone marrow, blood and organ donation. In particular, the research will be used to help gauge whether the education programme is having a direct impact in terms of raising awareness in relation to donorship and also whether levels of donorship start to increase.

Prior to conducting the second wave of tracking research, it was decided by The Jeanette Crizzle Trust that an ad hoc piece of telephone research should be conducted with schools to assess awareness and usage levels of the 'give and let live' resource. This document contains the findings from the telephone research.
