6.0 Contingency Plan

CONTINGENCY PLAN

A contingency plan is a pre-made plan which is designed to deal with an

emergency or situation which might happen and cause issues in the future. A

contingency plan is needed in research to ensure that an investigation can be

completed successfully, as it is highly likely that issues will occur.

The following issues have been noted as potential problems which could arise:

Not receiving enough responses to the surveys published to collect primary

data;

Not having enough suitable primary data to analyse or the data received

does not answer the research questions;

Secondary data not available for the dates required.

Responses to these issues have been outlined which will help to solve the

problems if they do present themselves.

Not receiving enough responses to the surveys

Not having enough primary data to analyse or the data does not answer the research questions

Secondary data not available for the dates required Share the surveys on more social media platforms to reach a wider audience. Carry out surveys in city centres if government Covid-19 guidelines permit.

Conduct more surveys to gather more suitable primary data. Use a wider range of secondary data which will compliment the existing data.

Contact the Office for National Statistics directly enquiring about the data needed. Pay for a unique set of data from ONS. Look for another set of variables.
