APPENDIX 2 EVALUATION QUESTIONNAIRES
A2.1 Mediated case party questionnaire
EVALUATION OF THE IN-COURT MEDIATION PILOT SCHEMES IN SHERIFF COURTS
SCOTTISH GOVERNMENT WITH THE UNIVERSITY OF ABERDEEN
QUESTIONNAIRE FOR THOSE USING MEDIATION
We are asking people to help us evaluate the in-court mediation option which is being offered in the sheriff courts at Glasgow and Aberdeen. We need to hear your views, and hope that you will answer the questions below. The answers will be used only to inform the evaluation.
A pre-paid envelope is enclosed for your reply. Nothing contained in the answers will be used to identify you or your case personally in our report, nor will your identity be revealed to the sheriff, mediator, other party or advisers. Only the evaluation team will know who gave which answers.
When we write our report it will contain combined answers and may contain direct quotations from answers but will never identify you or your case by name.
The evaluation is being led by Margaret Ross from the University of Aberdeen, who would be very happy to deal with any queries you have about the questionnaire or the evaluation. She can be contacted on 01224 272421, email m.l.ross@abdn.ac.uk. Her research assistant is Douglas Bain who can be contacted on 01224 272436, email douglas.bain@abdn.ac.uk.
The questionnaire can be provided in other formats (e.g. large print, coloured background, electronic) if you prefer, or a telephone interview can be conducted instead. Please get in touch if you want us to arrange this.
Please now return this form in the pre-paid envelope. If you have completed it electronically it can be emailed to m.l.ross@abdn.ac.uk
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR TAKING THE TIME TO COMPLETE AND RETURN THIS FORM. YOUR EXPERIENCES ARE IMPORTANT AND CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE FOR OTHERS.
