[QUOTE="melted welly, post: 8267807, member: 37168"] Filled it out this morning, fairly benign, but not a very well composed survey. For example, we are arable, yet it was not possible to skip some livestock specific questions with an n/a answer, some of the questions include a “non applicable” option but most don’t 🤷🏻♂️, therefore in order to progress you need to tick a box, but in doing so, the answer provided leans a certain way. Maybe I’m too suspicious but I feel something fishy about it. eg I answer I have done a biodiversity audit [ATTACH type="full"]1053597[/ATTACH] then immediately have to provide a reason why I haven’t done one, this must be filled in to proceed. [ATTACH type="full"]1053598[/ATTACH] Livestock questions, again cannot proceed without a box being ticked, no n/a option: [ATTACH type="full"]1053600[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full"]1053601[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full"]1053606[/ATTACH] I had identified which sector(s) the business is involved in early in the survey: [ATTACH type="full"]1053607[/ATTACH] So why do I get irrelevant questions, that I have to answer and have no option to skip? I’m quite aware that the answers I provide paint a picture of someone who carries out no planning for the welfare or improvement of their animals……..but I don’t have any animals……which they should know, from question 6……..but I still get the questions with no n/a option, so my answers will be that I “never do it” or feel “it is irrelevant” which are answers open to interpretation and if looked at in isolation do not provide a true reflection of fact Then of course comes the “diversity section” 😍 [ATTACH type="full"]1053613[/ATTACH] So, badly written/designed survey or one designed to provide some predetermined outcomes???
