Thank you for taking time to fill out this survey. It is being conducted by the Youth STEMM Award and the Babraham Institute who are researching young people’s opinions about STEMM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Maths and Medicine) and STEMM-related careers and their experience of taking part in our programme.
We encourage everyone who has taken part in the BioInspire programme to fill it out. It can also be filled out by anyone else taking part in the award, though some sections will be less relevant for you – we are still interested to have your opinions and thoughts about taking part in the Youth STEMM Award, and perhaps you have also learned something about the Babraham Institute while doing so!
There are no right or wrong answers – it is important that we hear your honest opinions.
When answering the questions you’ll give us lots of interesting data about you and your opinions – we promise we’ll keep it safe. You can read all the detail of how we’ll use your data online https://ysawards.co.uk/privacy-policy/, but the key things to know are:
- Why do we need your data? So we can continue what works in the Youth STEMM Award programme and the BioInspire programme and improve what doesn’t
- Will we sell your data? Absolutely not! And we won’t share it with any other companies, unless we’ve told you about them here or the law says that we need to.
- Don’t want us to use your data anymore? No problem, you can ask us to get rid of your answers to our questions before we start reviewing the data. If you don’t want us to use your data after all, get in touch within the next 3 weeks: HQ@ysawards.co.uk
- Don’t worry, we won’t keep your data for longer than we need to – we’ll keep it safe until it’s no longer useful for our long-term evaluation
- We may use your answers in reports, marketing materials or other publications, but you’ll never be able to be identified as they’ll always be used anonymously
- Finally – we’ll only ever use the info you give us in the way that UK data protection law allows us to
