Major Data Protection Changes

The new EU regulation on data protection is coming into force in May 2018 and everyone will need to adhere to them. The UK will still be part of the EU at this time and will have to comply with this regulation. The exact implications of this for research are being determined by the MRS in consultation with the ICO. The Fair Data website has guidance on what you can do now to prepare for the EU GDPR www.fairdata.org.uk

The changes mean greater accountability on all businesses handling data (whether as a controller or a processor) – a wider scope, stronger individual rights, higher fines and sanctions, extensive new compliance and audit demands from clients.

Compliance Timeline
Phase 1: Raise awareness and gather information (Aug – Dec 2016)
Phase 2: Plan & Prioritise (Jan – May 2017)
Phase 3: Implement changes (June – Dec 2017)
Phase 4: Embed change, train and re-train (Jan – May 2018) ...

List Recruitment – Deceptively Difficult
On the face of it, list recruitment should be an easier and much cheaper option as you have the contact details in front of you …. But in actual fact it can be a tricky beast to handle.
Lengthy experience of list recruitment has become easier for me since I have begun explaining the pitfalls and processes to clients, and now work in a way which provides the best outcome for both.

If you want to read more about the best processes for list recruitment then e-mail me at lucy@grofieldwork.com ...

Evolution of Social Class
Our job during recruitment is to ensure we get the best possible respondents.
Social class can pose a problem in qualitative recruitment as very ambiguous. It is not as relevant as it was once before due to the change within households over the years. One of the first social grading editions states ‘in the unlikely event that the head of household is a woman’ just shows how things have evolved!
Social grading has become a slightly archaic process and now we need to depend on the recruiter’s intuitiveness, experience and intelligence to ascertain what social grouping the respondent should fit into.
Although the social grading HOH occupation is a good base for respondents, more information is needed on the respondent you want to target, as the SEG question doesn’t take into account the bigger picture of background, education & shopping habits.
In conclusion, I would always propose providing a short pen portrait of respondents alongside the brief/spec to provide a better direction when recruiting.
