Tracking change in the lives of ‘vulnerable’ groups: Reflections on doing Qualitative Longitudinal Research (QLR) Jenny McNeill

Research Context Combinations of sanctions and support- what, if any, impact on changing behaviours? Welfare increasingly conditional on behaving in certain ways (eg job-seeking) What is the efficacy and ethicality of welfare conditionality?

Fieldwork plans 40 interviews with policy makers 24 focus groups with practitioners 1440 interviews with 9 groups of service users in 9 cities in England and Scotland over 3 years (480 participants each interviewed 3 times)

Reflections from PhD research ( ) “The role of employability in the resettlement of single homeless people” Longitudinal design: Interviews with 30 homeless/formerly homeless people. Interviewed twice with 9 month gap between interviews. Revisited research diary- methodological & ethical challenges faced.

‘Access’ issues Use of gatekeepers in recruitment. Obligation? Gaining informed consent over time. Consent as a process- needing renewal (Neale, 2012) How to maintain contact with participants? Intrusion and neglect (Neale, 2011; 2012) ‘Collateral contacts’ (Hobden et al, 2011) Using social media to sustain contact?

‘Power’ issues Building relationships over time most effective means of minimising attrition (Killien and Newton, 1990) Building rapport- concern when life for participants doesn’t go as well as they had hoped (account for attrition? Thomson & Holland, 2003) Therapeutic value of interviews Control over interview structure by participants (Thomson & Holland, 2003)

‘Safety’ issues Lone working protocols Dealing with the unexpected Confidentiality & ‘Safeguarding’- disclosure of harm to themselves or others- how and when to report? Ensuring de-briefing & support available after interviews

Thoughts for next stages of project Research team- poses challenges & opportunities. Reflexive practice (Pillow, 2003; Henwood, 2008) Flexibility- change to sample & analysis Analytical difficulties of capturing change over time (Corden and Millar, 2007). Interviewees rarely recount life events chronologically (Smith & Ravenhill, 2004). How to capture change? Timelines?
