I have found the responses to Kirsteen's message very helpful as we are also going to have another attempt at gathering information soon. Although Kirsteen asked for replies off list I think this is another of those cases where we might all benefit from the experience of others. So personally I would like to see as many responses as possible. Thanks, Syd.

Do you struggle with encouraging staff disclosure? Do you see this as a significant problem? Have you put in place any initiatives to encourage disclosure?
