The feedback from children was imaginative, engaging, inventive and diverse. However, there were many times when the community arts workers asked themselves if the feedback they were getting was of any real use to service providers and planners - how many ice cream parlours, theme parks and cinemas can you cram into one small borough?Body Outline Survey
There were fourteen categories used in conjunction with this survey. These were : Transport, Building, Money, Activities, Friends, Adult in Charge, Space, Toys/Equipment, Length of Time, Culture, Choice, Parents, Safety, Crime/Bullying.

The children were asked to think about and discuss each of the categories and consider how important they were to them in relation to their after and out of school activities. They then had to mark each one on a scale of one to twelve, one being the most important, twelve being the least important.

Some example questions/lead-ins :

1. Transport:
How do you get to your out of school activities? What would happen if no transport was available and how would this affect you?
2. Building:
Suitability of building to purpose; layout of building, access, ideas about indoor space.
3. Money:
How important is money? Do you need money to do activities? When can you do without? Sharing resources a possibility.
4. Activities:
What activities do you do/would like to do? How important is it for you to do these activities? Are they the most important consideration?
5. Friends:
How important is it to have friends with you, or to make friends when you do an after/out of school activity?
6. Adult in Charge:
How important is it for you to have someone in charge - who should this be? What activities can you do without adults around?
7. Space:
How important is the type of space in which you do out of school activities?
8. Toys/Equipment:
How important are toys/equipment to your out of school activities? Could you do without?
9. Length of Time:
How long does your activity take? How would it be if time was more limited? How long would you like?
10. Culture:
Do you come into contact with children from other cultures? How important is it to mix/be aware? What do/can you learn from other cultures? How important is your culture to you?
11. Choice:
How important is it for you to have choice in what you do? Do your choices conflict with other factors eg. parental restrictions, money, availability etc.
12. Parents:
Importance of parents in helping you to do after/out of school activities - do you need them around to help you - when and to do what?
13. Safety:
How important is it for you to feel safe when you do after school activities, or play out? When and where don’t you feel safe?
14. Crime/Bullying:
Similar issues to safety. How do you deal with bullying - does this affect you after school? Do concerns about crime affect what you do out of school?
