Friday 3rd November
In trying to save the time it would take to type up any interviews I conducted. Initially, I decided to engage the staff I wanted to speak to by sending them a questionnaire, This didn’t work, I received only 1 of 4 responses I sent which is a 25% success rate. The reply I did receive wasn’t as in-depth or rich as if I had spoken in person. It was only through experimenting with this process did I recognise, that meeting and a genuine conversation and discussion were required for me to collate the best quality data that I could. This experience made me rethink this part of my data collection. I then contacted the staff I wanted to speak to and arranged to conduct interviews instead.
