Is analysis too complicated?

• Some academics have said it is

• We think its not just for academics

• It needs to be explained• It takes a long time• But if it takes more time

then so what?• There is no right or wrong

way but we should not be excluded

Page 3: Brief Notes on our Different Approaches to Analysis: Example 1

Methods used across the groups for later analysis

• Supporters interviews (18)

• Member interviews (24)

• Group work body maps on good/bad support

• Focus groups • Communiogrammes

• Observations

Example of a team analysis session

• Displayed information and photos on wall

• Worked through agenda• Listened to tape of

interview, stopped it, discussed it, moved on.

• Noted all comments• Adjusted themes• Agreed on priorities• Linked themes to evidence.

Example - analysis of locations of support worker power

These questions, identified by the team, were applied to the findings

Group analysis of support worker power - the sort of things we discussed

• “…they don’t seem very well structured, they only have two members on the management committee” (Andy)

• “She is making decisions and then getting approval” (Lou)

• “Why don’t the members go and get the information for themselves”? (Elizabeth)

• “Is there a tension between the things she does and the model of People First “? (Rohhss)

• “The support workers only seem to support what they want to” (Malc)
