STUDENT NAME CHANGES //

FEEDBACK QUESTIONNAIRES
During the forum, students will be asked to complete an online anonymous questionnaire about the topics discussed on the day, as well as an online forum feedback form. If they have access to one, we kindly ask students to bring a mobile device with internet connectivity to complete these questionnaires. This information will allow Conviction Group to better understand the knowledge young men have regarding various topics and will help improve future programs. All collated and anonymised data will be reviewed by Conviction Group in partnership with our research partner, Western Sydney University. The review process will be in accordance with WSU practices and policies and may be used on print, electronic and/or social media platforms.
