- Coordinating participation in the key phases of the EPS process (illustrated below)
- Modifying the survey to suit the local school context, including the establishment of sub-roles for participants
- Distributing the URL and access code to all staff, and informing them of the end date for completing the survey
- In consultation with other senior staff, arrange for any staff information sessions as appropriate
- Distributing the ‘instructions for use’ sheets to all staff
- Regularly checking in the administrators area of the EPS website for numbers of respondents, and sending out reminders to staff where necessary
- Accessing the final report and online feedback and distribute to senior management and staff as decided by the school
