School survey - helping children with money management
As part of Warwickshire's Tackling Social Inequalities Strategy, we would like to understand more about the provision of financial education in primary school settings.
Research shows that an early introduction to financial education helps children develop more confidence in managing money. This early understanding and development of behavioural habits will help them to make better decisions in relation to spending and saving, and to make better financial choices as adults in the future.
We know that teachers and school staff play a key role in a child's learning and development, and we are therefore keen to explore what may already be happening in school settings with regard to finance, or whether there is a gap in this important provision. Completing our short form will only take a few minutes: https://forms.office.com/e/gb6jGJ9Kzt and is much appreciated. This form can be completed by headteachers or any school teaching staff familiar with the curriculum. We're particularly keen to hear if you think there are anything missing in the existing financial education provision in primary schools.
Depending on the results of this survey, we hope to work with local schools to co-produce supplementary education materials aimed at primary school-aged children. If you would be interested in working with us to produce these materials, please let us know in your answer to the last question in the survey.
The form will close on 23 January 2023. If you have any questions about this survey, please contact Asmaa Ahmedabadi, WCC Family Wellbeing Commissioner, via email: asmaaahmedabadi@warwickshire.gov.uk or phone: 01926 737765.
