Quality of Life report
METHOD
Firstly our thanks go to the 1785 RAF Regular and Reserve personnel and their families, representing commissioned, non-commissioned, married, single and those in a relationship who responded to our request for support this year. In a break with a purely online survey we have attempted a blended use of mediums this year with a focus on face-to-face workshops as well as the online survey. Their responses have produced over 6k comments online, and many hours of workshop facilitation to ensure the veracity of the information provided. It is absolutely pivotal to us that we represent ‘their voice’, so to add to the flavour of the report we have also included some of those word-for-word comments verbatim.
• We conducted our surveys using various methods to suit the location. For a national and global reach we conducted an on-line survey which allowed respondents from all over the world to participate in the survey. The on-line survey was published to allow for people with different access platforms (PC/Laptops, tablets and smartphones) to complete it.
• At families days and other locations where access to wifi was limited, we used an off-line survey software on hand held tablets which allowed the respondent to complete the survey and us to load it up later.
• During Station visits, Leadership seminars and other similar events we were able to conduct the survey using specialist voting software, which allows for the quantitative evidence to be captured, whilst the qualitative evidence is recorded by a member of the team.
•
The survey was advertised as part of our normal communications drive, through the use of our ebulletin, website and social media sites. We also promote our surveys via HQ Air, Community Support, Station Community Development Officers, Service Community Support Officers and HiVEs.
Our response evidence now presented has been sub-divided into those serving which represented 72% and non-serving 28%.
