Anonymity
All of the data collected for this study will be anonymous. We will not ask for your name or any other identifying information. The data will be stored in a password protected file and will only be accessible to myself and my supervisor. Your individual data will not be identifiable but if you do not want the data to be used in this way please do not complete the questionnaire.
If you do agree to complete the questionnaire you are free to leave any questions unanswered or to stop completing the questionnaire altogether at any point. Once the questionnaire is submitted the data cannot be withdrawn as it is anonymous so there will be no way to identify your data. The data will be kept for approximately 5 years after which point it will be destroyed.
