From the agenda
Safety and risk
What does safety in fieldwork mean, and how can we keep ourselves safe during fieldwork?
Interview technique
In this final session we bring all the tools and ideas we have learned in the workshop together. We prepare for interviews by role playing different challenging interview scenarios.

What people said
“It’s really helpful for us to talk through these issues, we don’t have the space for it anywhere else”
“This workshop has made me think through how I plan field research around my needs”
-
What we learned
Not all research projects have risk mitigation and assessments as institutionalised practice - so we provided more materials to help people prepare.
Talking about safety and risk as a research team institutionalises space for these conversations to continue before, during, and after research.
