Capturing an authentic pupil voice from pupils with moderate and severe SEN in semi‐structured interviews

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: This report explores how 1:1 semi‐structured interviews were conducted and adapted to gain views from pupils with moderate and severe learning difficulties. The report conveys how interview questions were structured, scaffolded and integrated with multi‐sensory activities to support pupils' confidence and ability to respond. By providing these additional supports, giving pupils sufficient time to respond and working with an interviewer who could support their communication needs we were able to capture authentic and reliable views from pupils with moderate and severe special educational needs (SEN).
