The aims of the research project are: • Investigate the suitability of the CBR for the 2016-17 CEYSP and future surveys, given the change in coverage of the CBR; • Investigate the suitability of alternative sampling frames for the 2016-17 CEYSP and future surveys; and • Make a recommendation as to which sampling frame will be most appropriate for the 2016-17 CEYSP and future surveys, accounting for the possibility that changes may be made to the specification of the CEYSP. The objectives of the research project: • Review of existing relevant documentation on changes to CBR and other major social research surveys with similar sample requirements • Conduct desk research, and interview staff at organisations holding the CBR, to assess the CBR’s qualities as a sampling frame for the 2016-17 CEYSP and future surveys; • Identify potential alternative sampling frames, and conduct desk research and interview relevant staff, in order to assess their qualities as sampling frames for the CEYSP; • Carry out primary analyses on relevant publicly available and internally held datasets (including CEYSP data) to assess the suitability of the CBR and other sampling frames; • Produce recommendations on whether to use the CBR or a more suitable sampling frame to feed into a presentation to the Department for Education and a report of publishable standard.
