When designing the research instruments ensure that:

they start with a statement about:

the focus and aims of the research project
how the persons data will be used (to feed into a report?)
confidentiality will the report name them or will their data be anonymised?
Who will have access to their data (the research team only?)
how long the instruments will take to complete.

they use age-appropriate language
every question helps the group to answer its research question take out those that
dont
any questionnaires use appropriate scales.
any questionnaires ask people for any relevant information about themselves, such as
their gender or age, if relevant. Dont ask for so much detail that it would be possible
to identify individuals though, if you have said that the survey will be anonymous.
If the researchers are planning to carry out observations, they will need to agree what
to look for. You could consider designing an observation form.
If the group if planning to use photographs, drawings or video, they will need to
specify the activity for research participants. For example, the group might want
primary school children to take up to five photographs showing the things they like
most about school, or to draw a picture of how they feel when they a) come to school,
b) are on lunchbreak, and c) are doing their homework.
