Questionnaires

Information about children in the WAACHS was collected from three sources: carers, young people themselves, and classroom teachers of those children attending school. By collecting information from different sources in different settings, it is possible to determine the influence of various settings – the family, the community, peer groups and schools – on the development and wellbeing of children.

The following are links to the questionnaires used by the survey team:

• Household survey forms
• Student survey forms
