Competing interests
: The authors declare no competing interests.
: Following completion of the University of Manchester’s Research Ethics Committee (UREC) ‘Ethics Decision Tool’, the need for ethical approval was waived (official confirmation available on request). This was owing to the nature of the research interview, which was a non-distressing discussion with staff about their professional practices, and the study’s aims, which were predominantly evaluative. Despite this, ethical best practice, including obtaining written informed consent from participants (to take part and for publication) was fully adhered to. All procedures within this study were performed in accordance with the British Psychological Society’s Code of Human Research Ethics.
: Participants were required to confirm within the consent form that they agreed for transcribed extracts of their interview to be published.
