Introduction to Research

This is a questionnaire about your experiences as a parent regarding any challenges you may experience in your local Community National School due to your religious faith or belief.  

In order to assist with the development of policy and practice in Community National Schools and to document the challenges faced as they emerge and develop, this research is exploring the successes and challenges these schools experience, particularly regarding how the needs of different belief groups are catered for and celebrated.

This questionnaire is part of my research for a Doctoral Programme in Education that I am carrying out in Dublin City University (DCU). Your participation is very much appreciated.

The structure of the questionnaire is as follows:

Section A: Background Information

Section B: Belief Statements about Inclusive Practices

Section C: Challenges due to Beliefs or Religious Commitments

The questionnaire should take you approximately 5 - 10 minutes to complete.
