Story Collection Interview Guide With Consent
Gather stories ethically.
The Open buttons send the prompt text as currently shown below to that site only when you click. Fill in the placeholders first.
[VERIFY] is an editorial flag, not a blank to fill. Wherever the prompt shows [VERIFY], check that item against a reliable source before you use it.
Create an interview guide for collecting stories. Who we will interview and in what circumstances: [INTERVIEWEES]. Purpose and how stories will be used: [PURPOSE_USE]. Sensitivities and safeguarding concerns: [SENSITIVITIES]. Write a guide with preparation (choosing a safe setting, explaining purpose), a consent script, open questions that let people choose what to share, ways to pause or stop, and aftercare. Provide a consent form outline, a plan for reviewing the final story with the interviewee, and rules for storing recordings securely. Include guidance on avoiding retraumatising questions and on referring to support services. Mark consent, safeguarding and data rules as items to verify [VERIFY] for [JURISDICTION], and train interviewers before use. Also add a short list of phrases for responding when someone becomes upset, a signposting card to support services to be completed locally, and a debrief routine for the interviewer. Protect people in stories and photos: no names or identifying details without written consent, no claims about consent unless I confirm them, and a [VERIFY] tag with [JURISDICTION] on safeguarding and privacy duties.
