Barriers analysis framework

Triangulating pupil, parent, and staff voice to identify strategic priorities

How to use this tool: Work through your questionnaire results for each audience. For each domain, rate the concern level you see: 1 = no concern, 5 = significant concern. The small question references below each domain name show which questionnaire questions inform that rating. Once you've entered all scores, move to step 2 for the visual picture and step 3 for prioritised actions.

Set all scores above, then continue.
Look for domains where all three lines sit high — that's your clearest signal. Where one voice is high but others aren't, treat it as a prompt for conversation rather than a confirmed finding.

Triangulated zone (2+ voices rated ≥3)
The top three priority domains are ranked by concern score, weighted upward where two or more voices independently identify the same issue. Triangulation is the key quality check — it's the difference between a single perspective and a finding you can take to leadership with confidence.
