Working Data skill
Design an event feedback survey
Design a focused event survey that measures experience and intended outcomes without coercion or noise.
Procedure
- Define the decisions the survey must inform, target population, timing, channel, and owner.
- Map each question to an outcome, experience, barrier, or improvement decision.
- Use plain, neutral questions with balanced response options and an appropriate recall period.
- Separate satisfaction, learning, confidence, intent, access, safety, relevance, and open feedback.
- Keep identity and demographics optional, justified, protected, and separable from operational support.
- Provide accessible formats, language options, skip logic, progress, save, and assistance where needed.
- Pilot with representative participants and check completion time, interpretation, missingness, and harm.
- Publish purpose, consent, retention, analysis, reporting, and response-to-urgent-feedback rules.
Guardrails
- Do not imply that completing feedback affects attendance, service, payment, or future access.
- Never collect sensitive demographic or incident detail without a justified protected process.
- Do not report small groups or free text in ways that identify people.
