Abstract: The Department for Education (DfE) commissioned the Parent, Pupil and Learner Voice (PPLV) to collect robust and quick turnaround research to support policy development. The PPLV aims to help DfE make evidence-based policy decisions and see how views and experiences of parents (including legal guardians and carers), pupils and learners change over time. This technical report covers each element of the PPLV data collection and delivery process during the 2025/26 academic year, across the recruitment phase for primary parents, secondary parents and pupils in years 7 to 11. The report is divided into the following sections: (1) Overview -- includes an overview of the aims of the panel and what this document covers; (2) Methodology Overview -- summarises the timescales for each wave and the reasons for the method selected; (3) Sampling -- outlines the size and structure of the starting sample and a summary of the recruitment phase; (4) Questionnaire -- provides details of the questionnaire development and cognitive testing of the questionnaires; (5) Fieldwork -- details the process for inviting panel members to participate and subsequent communication processes with panel members; (6) Response Rates -- outlines how many people took part in each wave and the breakdown of responses by key respondent groups; (7) Weighting -- a summary of the weighting approach; (8) Data Processing and Analysis -- an outline of the process for processing and analysing data, including which key subgroups were looked at and how significant differences were tested; and (9) Appendices -- communications sent to panel members and detail on population size.
