Woodhouse Parish Plan
Youth Questionnaire

This part of the questionnaire is specifically for individual young people in your household who are aged between 13 and 19 years old. It asks additional questions that are only relevant to young people.  To help them fill it in, parts of the main Introduction are repeated on this page.   

Extra copies of this questionnaire
If you need extra copies of this part of the questionnaire, please either contact us or collect them from Oakwood Pharmacy.  The views of the under 13s are being sought separately.   

The Woodhouse Parish Plan and your role in it
This questionnaire is part of a national programme of village appraisals - ways of identifying what the people who live or work in a community think are the priorities for their villages.  This is the first time that the communities of Woodhouse and Woodhouse Eaves have been asked for their views in this way.  We do hope that you will complete this questionnaire.  The experience of other villages is that their surveys have led to much useful action.

Getting results
A public meeting will be held in the autumn to discuss the results of the survey and it will be used to form the basis of an action plan to be agreed with the Parish Council.

Filling it in
If any of the questions are not relevant to you - just ignore them and move on.

Who designed it?
The Woodhouse Parish Plan Group - around 40 volunteers from both villages - devised the questionnaire, with help from youth and community leaders.  

Deadline
We would like you to complete the questionnaire by Friday 9 July 2004. This will be collected.

Background information
If you would like to see details of the meetings which produced the questionnaire, you will find all the minutes and papers on either of two websites:

Woodhouse Eaves website:	www.woodhouse-eaves.co.uk
Parish Councils' Website:	www.leicestershireparishcouncils.org

Confidentiality
If you would like to volunteer for anything raised in the questionnaire, or would like more information, the last page of the main questionnaire asks for names and addresses.  A third party will detach this sheet before your responses are analysed, so that all your answers will be anonymous.

Recycling
After all the information has been analysed, any pages with names on will be shredded and the remaining pages will be recycled.

Many thanks for your support.
