Interview with Elizabeth Minor about casualty recording practice

In this video I interview Elizabeth Minor of Article 36 about her Work on Casualty Recording.

Elizabeth asked me to post the following clarifying statement about her interview.

“In this interview, Elizabeth describes a study conducted with 40 organisations and individuals that were promised complete anonymity, but also discusses working with members of the Casualty Recorders Network, a public network of over fifty practitioners that can be found at everycasualty.org.”

At the end of this clip Elizabeth provides advice to people who may be thinking of setting up a casualty recording project. I hope that a few people taking the course are already doing casualty recording and other people may be thinking of setting up a casualty recording project.

If you are doing or thinking of doing casualty recording could you please tell a bit about your activities or plans in the comments section below?

Of course, most of you won’t be casualty recorders or potential casualty recorders. But this is still a great opportunity to ask some casualty recorders about their work.

Upon my request Elizabeth provided the following bio:
