SUMMARY:How to increase the accuracy of your surveys by reducing your sample size
DESCRIPTION:Choosing the right sampling method\, be it cluster\, stratified\, sequential or simple\, can make a dramatic difference to the accuracy of your results.

Of course if you get it wrong you will pay the price\, so in this overview of the importance of sampling methods when designing your surveys\, Nigel Marriot will demonstrate how you can decide which to use with the help of some playing cards and your willing participation! \n

SUMMARY:SRA National Conference
DESCRIPTION:‘Making the links: New directions for social researchers’ \nNow more than ever\, social researchers need to build strong connections outside our industry. Traditional boundaries between research methods have softened as researchers and funders recognise the value of combining approaches. Hard and fast divisions between academics\, practitioners and policy researchers are blurring. Researchers are increasingly collaborating with other professionals\, in fields such as bio-tech and engineering. And new opportunities arise as technology redraws the limits on data collecting\, data sharing and research dissemination. What challenges does this new landscape bring?  \n
