This section lists a selection of responses, made by individual interviewees, which did not fit within the coded responses.

These comments are included for completeness, but always remember they are minor responses, negligible in relation to the main, coded data. In other words, remember that these are generally isolated comments, providing flavour but not constituting the main ingredients.

To retain the colour and authenticity of the verbatim comments, they have been left largely unedited except for minimal spell checking.

DEWNR | AUGUST 2020 74 APPENDIX 3: GUIDE TO READING THE REPORT Guide to Reading the Report The core report is typically analysed in order of the questions asked in the survey. Relevant statistically significant findings as well as other observations of interest are analysed in this report. Please note that, because of rounding, answers in single response questions will not always sum precisely to 100%. In addition, as the base for percentages is the number of respondents answering a particular question (rather than the number of responses) multiple response questions sum to more than 100%. The use of arrows may have been used in this report to show movement between surveys.

 The current year % is up from the previous survey

 The current year % is down from the previous survey

 The current year % is the same as the previous survey

Survey, participants may have been to rate a variety of aspects on a 1 to 5 scale for importance, satisfaction or agreement. 1 being the lowest rating and 5 being the highest rating possible.

Typically in studies of this nature, an average rating of:

• 4.5 or above represents an extremely high level of importance, satisfaction or agreement

• 4.0 to 4.4 a high level

• 3.5 to 3.9 a moderate level

• between 2.5 and 3.4 a mixed rating and

• 2.4 and below a low level of importance, satisfaction or agreement
