Anonymity - The quality or state of being unknown or unacknowledged, for example: if someone wanted to know an asnwer to a question, e.g. 'what's your most embarrassing moment?' The answers can be seen but no one will know who said what.
It is important that research is confidential because the person filling the questionnaire or just asnwering a specific question can be more honest and accurate about what they are trying to say, if someones name was required on the front of a letter regarding a schools rating/quality etc, that person will not want to say what they actually think as their teachers could find out.
Being anonymous will allow people to say what they want about whatever is being asked, the anonymity will prevent people from being scared to answer something truthfully.
The information you give in the his questionnaire will be anonymous, this will protect your name or any other perosonal details from being shown to the people who are reading and gaining information through the questions asked.
After extracting all information from the questions, this will be safely locked away from the use or view of others or destroyed.
