Research:

is the collection and analysis of data from a sample or census of individuals or organisations relating to their characteristics, behaviour, attitudes, opinions or possessions. It includes all forms of market, opinion and social research such as consumer and industrial surveys, psychological investigations, qualitative interviews and group discussions, observational, ethnographic, and panel studies.

This research conforms to the national and international legislation relevant to this project including in particular the Data Protection Act 1998 and other comparable legislation applicable outside the UK.

Participation is confidential and questions are for the collection of opinions only.

EHDC undertake that the people with whom we work (including Members of the Market Research Society (MRS), non-member research practitioners, colleagues, Clients, consultants, sub-contractors) are sufficiently familiar with the MRS Code of Conduct that they are unlikely to breach it, or cause it to be breached, unknowingly or unintentionally and Members with responsibility for implementing processes, procedures and contracts are taking reasonable steps to ensure that they are such that this Code is unlikely to be breached, or caused to be breached, by others unknowingly or unintentionally.

The anonymity of Participants will be preserved unless they have given their informed consent for their details to be revealed or for attributable comments to be passed on. Where participants have given consent for data to be passed on in a form which allows them to be personally identified, EHDC undertake to demonstrate that we have taken all reasonable steps to ensure that it will only be used for the purpose for which it was collected and to fully inform Participants as to what will be revealed, to whom and for what purpose.

Any re-contact will match the assurances given to Participants at the time that permission was gained e.g. when re-contact was to occur, the purpose and by whom.

Participant details will not be passed on to another third party for research or any other purposes.

This Research is a voluntary activity. Participation is by invitation which in no way implies requirement to participate. Non-participation will have no detriment to the Participant.

The Data Controller is registered with the Information Commissioner’s Office for England.
