Please read each question carefully and take your time to answer.
 
Answer simply by putting a tick in the boxes next to the answers you want to give.
 
If you see a question that you can’t answer or don’t know the answer to, just mark the ‘Don’t know’ option and go to the next question.
 
If there are any questions that make you feel uncomfortable and which you don’t want to answer, you can choose not to answer them. If there is the option, mark the ‘Prefer not to say’ box and go to the next question. If there is not a ‘Prefer not to say’ option, skip that question by leaving it blank and move on to the next one.
 
Just ask the researcher if you have any questions as you fill in the survey, however small.
 
This survey is all about you so it is really important that you are as honest as possible. Please don’t worry about other people you know seeing your answers – that won’t happen.
