Ann,

My appendices were more or less the same length as the report itself and mine passed! So, as long as it's relevant I'd include it.

I'm writing up my PDR right now and have a question regarding Appendices that I hope some of you can help with?  I note that in the Regulations & Notes of Guidance book it says "The Appendices should not normally exceed the report proper in length".  Is that the only rule, other than they must, of course, be relevant to what you are discussing in the report?  The few PDRs I have read courtesy of the Regional Liason Officer have been quite short on Appendices (i.e. about 5 - 10 single A4 pages max), and discuss Health or Academic viewpoints.  I work in a Film Archive (following Route B), and am finding a lot of the work I am involved in is rather specialised in certain areas and that some clear photographs would be great as supporting appendices (showing the Film Vaults, or film being catalogued, for example).  Would photographs as well as some documentation be acceptable/relevant to have as Appendices?  I guess my feeling is that I should try to cut down on supporting material as much as possible, what do other members of the list think?  On the other hand, as long as it is relevant/referred to in the Report and the Appendices are shorter than the report as a whole, does it really matter?!!!!!
 
Thanks for your help,
Ann
