  6. The SHS Survey Review 2010 • What are we reviewing? • The operation of, and uses made of the survey with the primary aim of assessing the achieved benefits, quality and continued need for the survey and to maximise the benefits through appropriate question and topic content • Project drivers • Changes in content • Changes in design • Demands for space • Changing governance landscape (e.g. National Performance Framework, Single Outcome Agreements) • Survey harmonisation/growth of other surveys

  7. The story so far… • Work carried out includes: • Interviews with key stakeholders • Web based survey • Focus groups • Also supported by: • Evaluation of SHS Review 2005 project • Alignment with other analytical work • SHS Steering Group

  8. The SHS Review- Key Themes • The survey has a range of uses • General awareness/background information most common • Policy development and evaluation close behind • The frequency of use varies • Several times a year most common (43%) • A large proportion of users undertake their own research alongside SHS data • If the SHS ceased to provide data there would be an expectation on Scottish government to meet the needs

  9. The value of the SHS • Alternatives • Agree strongly • Agree • Neither agree nor disagree • Disagree • Disagree strongly Based on… • Robust and reliable • National data (80%) • LA data (56%) • Up-to-date (58%) • Unavailable elsewhere (66%) • Range of topics (60%) • Helps do job (67%)

  10. The SHS Review - Key Issues • The demand for content > space available • Demands cover a huge range of topics (from horses to home safety) • Geography • Detail • Time

  11. The SHS Review- Next Steps • Interviews • Proposals • Consultation • What do you think?

  12. Group Activity • Establishing the purpose of the SHS • On each table you will have a number of statements about what the purpose of the SHS could be • Prioritise the statements • Are there any purpose statements you’d like to add?
