Departmental Surveys
The Minister said departmental surveys do not require MyGovID and are designed with NALA and WCAG accessibility guidance.
608. Deputy Naoise Ó Muirí asked the Minister for Education and Youth if she will ensure that future surveys conducted by her Department include an option for respondents to submit observations without requiring a MyGovID account, thereby improving accessibility and recognising that many people do not have an account.

Comment on this
My department is open to the use of myGovID as a secure means to access its services, however my department does not make it mandatory on surveys.
Recently my department has run a number of surveys, none of which required mygovid and all of which were developed with National Adult Literacy Agency (NALA) and Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG):
The national conversation on education.
The Anti Bullying survey.
The Primary School Survey.
The Survey of Substitute Teachers.
