The aim of the project is to explore teachers’ perceptions of race, culture and diversity in the context of primary education. This is an area that is both relevant and also under-researched. The report will be shared online at no cost and individuals and institutions will not be identified. 

Completion of the online survey is confidential and answers will only be visible to the researchers. Any quotations used in our report or subsequent dissemination will be anonymised to avoid any possible identification.  There are no risks anticipated in participation. You do not have to answer a question if you do not wish to and may withdraw your responses at any time by emailing grayj4141@gmail.com prior to publication. The survey will open from 22nd May to 30th June 2017.
