Important considerations when selecting a survey tool:
-
GDPR Compliance: Ensure the tool and its data storage practices comply with GDPR.
-
Information Governance and Data Security: Check your local Trust's or organisation's policies on using external survey tools, especially when collecting any personal or patient identifiable data.
-
IT Department: Before using any external tool, it's always best practice to consult with your IT and Information Governance departments. They can advise on approved tools and specific requirements for data handling and security.
-
Accessibility: Ensure any survey you design is accessible to all potential respondents, adhering to accessibility standards.
