Participant Instructions

Thank you for taking part in this survey. The aim of the survey is to map the risk of forced marriage at ward level in Barnet.

I am interested in anecdotal evidence about forced marriage, so you don’t need to back up your answer with any data. Getting anecdotal evidence from lots of people in Barnet will help to understand forced marriage risk in the borough.

What you need to do

Step 1. On the next page, you will be asked to read over the participant information sheet and accept this if you feel comfortable.

Step 2. After this, you will be shown pairs of wards in Barnet. I would like you to say which of the wards you think has a higher rate of forced marriage. For each pair of wards, you will have three options:

  1. If you think a particular ward has a higher rate of forced marriage, please select that ward and click continue.
  2. If you think both wards have the same risk of forced marriage, please click both wards and click continue.
  3. If you don’t know a ward or you want to skip a pair of wards, please click the skip button

After you have made a decision for each pair, you will be shown a new pair. It would be helpful if you can make at least 30 comparisons. There is a counter at the top of the page to keep track.
