The development team was led by Learn Sheffield and included various stakeholders, one of which was Sheffield Hallam University. Although the tool kits development was a culmination of all stakeholders input, the potential for bias must be highlighted. Authors, however, were cautious of this during the various research stages and collected, analysed, and reported the data in the most objective way possible, including peer checking (author KL).
