Hearing from citizens: An introduction to designing and running surveys

Aim

To introduce you to some top tips, tools and resources to help you design and run surveys.

The course is intentionally ‘basic’ in its approach and content, and is aimed at beginners. No previous knowledge of survey design or analysis is required.

Content

Surveys are a great way to hear from lots of people quickly and cost-effectively. Information is usually collected via a questionnaire, which can be distributed electronically, on paper, or even via an interview. Perhaps the best-known survey is the Census.

There are many types of survey. Which one you choose will depend on your purpose, the timescale for collecting the results, and the resources available.

Our training course gives practical advice and guidance to help you prepare, produce and design surveys and analyse the resulting data.

Outcomes

By the end of the course, you will understand:

  • survey design
  • the most common sampling techniques
  • how to construct survey questions
  • how to pilot and run a survey
  • how to analyse and present the results.
