Questionnaires

Know the questionnaire you’re working with

You need to be very familiar with the questionnaire you are using with a young person, to make sure you can use it well to support open conversation and progress with them.

On this page you’ll find an overview of each questionnaire available, and a downloadable handbook that helps you use it accurately and effectively.

Choosing a questionnaire

As we develop, ImpactStar® will include different questionnaires for working with different groups of people. When this happens, you will need to select a pre-written questionnaire (from a list in the tool) that best suits the young person and the programme.

Your manager will support you to make this decision. Make sure you check your choice with them before starting work with a young person.
