Feedback form

This is the feedback section, where you can let us know how we are going. We would really appreciate your comments on things that are done well, things that need improving and anything else you think we may need to consider. By following the links, you will be given an online space to write your comments. Be assured that no one else can see your thoughts, except for the project team. We really appreciate your time in commenting.


Online chat room

This is the online chat room designed as a place for you to meet regularly to discuss ideas and thoughts collaboratively. It is set up like a chat room, in which you can engage in electronic discussion with other reference group members across the world. The next scheduled reference group meeting is the 16th of February. More details about this will follow closer to the date.


Online discussion room

This is the online discussion room designed as a place for you to post any thoughts at anytime of the project. You may like to discuss other research projects, ideal contexts, discuss comments or simply reflect on the project. This room is designed to allow the research group to have their own space for collaboration, outside of the online chat room meeting times. By following the links you will be given an online space to write your comments. Be assured that no one else can see your thoughts, outside of the reference group.
