CLS is seeking advice from the academic, policy and practitioner communities on what should be covered in the age 14 survey of the Millennium Cohort Study (MCS), scheduled for 2015.
The latest stage of the MCS6 consultation is taking place from December
2012 to March 2013. We are asking academics, policy makers and other
stakeholders to put forward their specific suggestions for content and
questions. This information will then be summarised and presented for
further debate the MCS6 consultative conference to be held on 27 March 2013 at the Institute of Education, University of London.
For more information see the CLS website: http://www.cls.ioe.ac.uk/page.aspx?&sitesectionid=1110&sitesectiontitle=MCS+age+14+survey+consultation

Millenium Cohort Survey 6 Consultation - Age 14 Sweep
7th October 2011, 10 am – 5 pm
Woburn House Conference Centre, 20 Tavistock Square. London, WC1H 9HQ
In 2015 the sixth wave of the Millenium Cohort Study will be carried out. The CLS would like to get your views on the priorities and possibilities for what data should be collected from and about the Study children at that point, when they will be aged around 14 years.
For more information on the consultation and why CLS think this is a particularly important point to collect as wide a range of views as possible, not only on what should be collected, but also where (e.g. at home or elsewhere), how (e.g. by personal interview, direct measures and assessments, web self-completion), and who from (e.g. Study members, their parents, others) please see the note on the CLS website http://www.cls.ioe.ac.uk/events.asp?section=000100010004&item=1129
Input from participants will be preceded by expert overviews from speakers including Paul Gregg, Jane Elliott and Mark Peters.
Whether or not you have actively used the Millennium Cohort Study previously, the study team would value your input.
Registration is free: Please contact Richard Bull (R.Bull@ioe.ac.uk), stating your first and second preference from the themes listed below.
• Education and aspirations
• Attitudes and activities
• Well-being: health and happiness
• Friends and networks
• Risk-taking and victimisation
• Biomeasures
