The Specialist Schools and Academies Trust (SSAT) leads a partnership on behalf of the Learning and Skills Improvement Service (LSIS, formerly QIA) to deliver the Diploma support programme - preparing practitioners. The Diploma support programme - preparing practitioners assists in the professional development of practitioners, helping them to prepare for the delivery of Diplomas from September 2009. This site will continue to be developed throughout the year. Your feedback in this short survey will inform that development and allow the site to continue to focus on issues of importance and relevance.

LSIS has appointed ORC International to undertake an independent evaluation of the Diploma support programme - preparing practitioners; we are an independent market research organisation, and as such adhere to the Market Research Society Code of Conduct. Please be assured that your answers to the survey questionnaire will be kept confidential.

If you have any queries regarding this survey please contact me on 020 7675 1135 or email janine.hawkins@orc.co.uk.

We hope you are able to take the time to answer the questions. Thank you very much indeed for your time.

Yours sincerely

Janine Hawkins
