Subject: [EFTC] Request for Help: "Other People's Children" Questionnaire
> Dear All,
>
> I am writing to ask an immense favour. We have put together an online
> Questionnaire at http://www.otherpeopleschildren.org.uk, which aims to
> strengthen our understanding of audience and potential audience for the
> Archive and Study Centre, and to support a major grant application for a
> project entitled "Therapeutic Living With Other People's Children: An
> oral history of residential therapeutic child care c. 1930 - c. 1980".
>
>
> The Planned Environment Therapy Trust Archive and Study Centre was founded
> in 1989. It is the only Archive and Study Centre devoted to therapeutic
> community environments in the world, and we depend upon the diverse
> community we serve to keep us on our toes, alert to their needs and to new
> ways in which we can extend our resources and services to them and to the
> widest possible public. For the Archive and Study Centre website, see
> http://www.pettarchiv.org.uk
>
>
> We are in the midst of a major grant application to the Heritage Lottery
> Fund which has come out of our work with former children, families and
> staff of therapeutic communities for children and young people. In this
> project we are trying to apply everything we have learned over the past
> twenty years to help meet their needs for place and foundation, and to
> introduce the wider community to an area of the national life and heritage
> which is immensely rich - challenging, but with tremendous rewards in
> learning and understanding. To find out more about "Therapeutic Living
> With Other Peoples Children: residential therapeutic child care c. 1930 -
> c. 1980", and the principles underlying it, please see
> http://news.otherpeopleschildren.org.uk.
>
> We have been awarded a development grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund to
> help us to prepare the strongest application possible by the submission
> deadline of August 28, 2009. Your help is essential.
>
> By taking ten to fifteen minutes to answer the questionnaire at
> http://www.otherpeopleschildren.org.uk you will help to strengthen the
> application tremendously, by providing detailed information on audiences
> and potential audiences for the Archive and Study Centre and the Oral
> History project itself. Having said which: All the online questionnaires
> are answered anonymously, and though we do ask some
> age/gender/profession-type questions, no identifying information is
> gathered, and these questions are only there to help us understand the
> who, where, if, and how of the current and possible audience. Yes, the
> questionnaire is more verbose than one put together by professional
> pollsters - anyone who knows me will not be surprised by that; but, yes,
> we are also very very grateful for your willingness to complete it. It
> should take no more than 10 to 15 minutes, according to all of the trials
> so far.
>
> Your feedback on the questionnaire itself is also very welcome.
>
> If you wish to be on our mailing list, and be kept up to date with the
> progress of the "Other Peoples Children" application, project and other
> things, please email me directly - [log in to unmask]
