survey

I’ve made up some questions

And I have put the questions out for consultation and I have revised them.

These are Ann’s initial thoughts and my original questions

Good morning Caroline

These are my initial thoughts.

If you want results from which you can draw conclusions you will need a few numbers so QUESTION 1 could be

Have you come into contact with people who are blind, visually impaired, deaf etc. Please tick as appropriate

You then have a percentage of the people taking the survey as to how many people might have experience of disability.

Then when you go on to your questions the “ are you comfortable with” gives you some idea of the base you are working with. EG 1% of respondents knew someone who was deaf and 1% were comfortable with this disability so you can draw a conclusion. Or 1% knew someone with a disability but no one was comfortable with this particular disability.

Simplicity is the key to a good questionnaire

In this case you need to ask a simple question

Do you feel comfortable around people who are ….then the disability

Mostly if people are not comfortable they will not be confident so both words are not necessary. If you give people two words they swither over that before they get to the question.

The questions with choices are great. However I think the wording Explanations is confusing explanations of what? The fact that they dont know or have no contact. It doesn’t add anything and you cant explain what you dont know.

With the deaf question It might be easier to ask if the answer to feeling comfortable around people who are deaf is yes a second question could be “. Have you had any experience of British Sign Language”.? I think the speech impediment question could be one on its own in order to get a proper result.

Although you are meeting all these people it is possible that they will just want you to leave the questionnaire so it is important to get it right on paper as well.

I hope these comments are helpful. I had to draw up a paper on attitudes to mental health when I was giving talks in schools which I then gave as a report to a conference in Glasgow so I know it is a minefield and you do need to get the right questions so you can draw conclusions. It took me many drafts and discussions with people to get it right. Good luck and if you need anything else I will always help if I can.
