Consultation on MCS age 14 Survey

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.
