  1. Rebecca you are doing well with redrafting these - keep on working - we are also corresponding about the ethical concerns to be taken into consideration when using questionnaires in terms of 1. defining terms and working within our professional roles (e.g. using sources to define terms and refining questions) and 2. unintended consequences - ask others to help with this - so if I asked someone if they were tired - they might think they looked tired even if they were not.. Reader 5 is good for thinking issues through and defines informed consent. Bw

  2. I have just emailed across inquiry questions with my 3 main focus questions and sub questions underneath. Hopefully that makes it a bit clearer. I have also changed the terminology used as 'psychological' issues could take me down the medical route which I do not want to go down nor have the knowledge or expertise to advise on psychological issues. I will also have another look at reader 5! Thanks
