Collecting and sharing sensitive information - collaborative guidance document

Over on the private Musical Inclusion Facebook page (dm me to join if you're part of a Youth Music -funded Musical Inclusion programme), one member asked if anyone had found a good way to ask people to describe their challenges, without feeling too invasive. How do you do it? Do you know how other professionals handle this? 

The conversations

The topic prompted a flurry of responses on Facebook, and continued through comments on posts on the Network, emails, a collaborative 'Google Doc' and culminated in a breakout discussion at Gathering 3 of the Musical Inclusion -funded projects in June 2014. Thanks very much to all those who contributed

The guidance document

We've collated all of the information into a practice-sharing guidance document which you hope you'll find useful and will download, read, and share.

NB: The original document was updated 10 Sept 2014.

What next?

But it doesn't stop here. Gail Dudson will be continuing the work by creating a statement and protocol (as mentioned in the document) for your consideration, comments and possible use - watch this space.
