The authors would like to thank the BGS staff that volunteered their time to complete the questionnaire.

We would like to acknowledge the help of the PhD lead supervisor, Dr Nirmalie Wiratunga, and the rest of the supervisory team at Robert Gordon University — Dr Stewart Massie and Dr Kit Ying-Hui — for their help in designing the questions.

SurveyMonkey software was used to create the survey, collect the responses and analyse the results.

Ikechukwu Nkisi-Orji collated the results, created the figures and wrote the results and analysis sections in this report. Rachel Heaven helped design the questionnaire and edited the text into this BGS standard format, writing the summary and acknowledgements.
